Most of France is Roman Catholic, but in name only. Most are not considered Catholic by the Church because they do not accept all the doctrines of the Church.
Catholic AnswerFirst of all, it's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.Secondly, as of 2008 - the only statistics of that kind available for the last ten years, between 83 and 88% of the French self-reported being "Catholic". HOWEVER, in 1980, only 15% of those attended weekly Mass, in 2000, only 12%, and as of 2002, only 8% attended weekly Mass. To anyone who understands Catholicism in only a cursory fashion, the first thing that they know is that to be a Catholic, in good standing, one must attend Mass, at least every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. Failure to attend Mass, even one Sunday, without a good reason, is a mortal sin. One mortal sin (unrepented, and unconfessed) condemns a person to hell for eternity. If you are not doing that you are best a "cultural" Catholic, which means you may have been baptized in the Catholic Church but you are not a practicing Christian by any stretch of an over active imagination.
