Description

Introduces English-speaking Canadians to the history and role of the Church in Quebec society. Quebec culture and religion are not well known among anglophones. In the aftermath of Meech Lake, however, many Canadians are beginning to wonder what makes Church and society in Quebec tick. Were Quebecers an oppressed people? Is nationalism good or bad? Why should the Québécois speak English? What's wrong with the dominant theology? Where have all the Catholics gone? Is the Church still relevant in Quebec? How has the Church responded to the Quiet Revolution? These and other difficult questions are tackled head-on in a series of penetrating articles.
