This one isn't so much a matter of information or education, but of
popular devotion. The faithful, at least in this part of the world,
recite it at meetings, or after the rosary, without any help from the
clergy. I would think it fairly well known. Even if someone didn't
know all the words (indeed I can never remember them, in the rather
antique translation commonly used) I would think fact that the De
Profundis was recited for the dead would be commonly known.
Bill.
