The essay is divided into two sections. The first section is dedicated to the general development of opinions on superstitions in the Catholic milieu of the early modern time. With reference to the contemporary religious and educational literature, the author compares the Baroque and Enlightenment approaches to superstitions, mainly those that were components of the religious life. The second part of the article is a case study dedicated to one practice customary in the Catholic milieu of the 17th and 18th century, i.e. driving storm clouds away by ringing the bells. The author explains argumentation in favour of the tolling in the Catholic Baroque milieu and rejection of this practice in the 18th century Enlightenment period.

Storms in the European part of the Mediterranean Sea Basin are characterized in the paper. Data on storm days comes from the years 1986-2008, from fourteen stations located on the coast and on islands of the Mediterranean Sea (Gibraltar, Valencia, Palma de Majorca, Marseille, Ajaccio - Corsica, Cagliari - Sardinia, Palermo - Sicily, Naples, Luqa Malta, Thessaloniki, Athens, Souda - Crete, Rhodes Airport - Rhodes and Larnaca - Cyprus). The greatest number of storm days was noted in Corsica (870 - on the average 37,8 per year) and the least in Gibraltar (371 - 16,1). In most of the examined stations storms took place most frequently in the fall (from 19 to 46%). The smallest number of storm days was observed in winter (western and central part of the region) and in summer (eastern part). From a year-to-year analysis of storm days, it was found that their trend, at almost at all the stations, is negative. The strongest negative trend was observed in Valencia, Naples and Cagliari (-8,5 days/10 years). A growing trend, reaching 3 storm days/10 years, was only found in Cyprus.
