Excerpt from Germanization and Americanization: Compared
Some years ago a Western priest, pious and erudite, applied skillfully the knife to the canker of uncanonical treatment of priests. He wielded his mighty pen against arbitrary power and the evils flowing therefrom. That he was successful in rooting out the undermining influence of despotism needs no elaborate discussion a simple perusal of the decrees of the III. Plenary Council of Baltimore is sufficient. The Council embodied in its legislation laws tending to abolish the abuse of power, against which the mighty canonical warrior alluded to above wielded the weapon of his intellect. The learned doctor, fully equipped with the instruments of Canon Law, and the higher law of charity and justice, was submissive to established authority. He was apprehensive that his disclosures would give birth to higher handed exercise of Czarism, in its most odious and aggravated form still he braved the raging, fuming, and threatening monster with sang-froia' born of an equitable cause. The justice of his undertaking necessarily involved the idea of success. Before sending his book on a mission of mercy, he challenged the world to show a phrase or line not in perfect accord with faith, morals, discipline, or Christian charity.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the challenges of maintaining ethnic identity in a dominant culture through the lens of the French-Canadian experience in the United States. Drawing parallels to the failures of German assimilation and the success of German immigration in the United States, the author argues that attempts to assimilate and Americanize the French-Canadian population have been unsuccessful and counterproductive, leading to alienation and religious decline. By providing historical context and examples, the author proposes that a more tolerant and inclusive approach is needed to foster both cultural preservation and religious vitality among French-Canadians, preserving the richness and diversity of the American religious landscape This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
