Excerpt from The Rise of the Ecclesiastical Control in Quebec
The history of religious organization in Canada has as yet received little attention. Numerous contributions to the field, it is true, have appeared from time to time in the form of biographies of churchmen or denominational histories but a comprehensive history of the church in Canada has still to be written. Few, if any, countries offer a richer field for a study of certain important developments in the history of the Christian Church. Much valuable material awaits the historian and sociologist for a study of such topics as: the Jesuit and other missions among the Indians; the various struggles between the different religious orders; and be tween the Gallican and Papal parties within the Roman Catholic church; as well as the struggle of the church for temporal supremacy; the toleration of Roman Catholicism and the provision for separate schools under British rule; the establishment of the Church of England and state support of religious institutions; denominational unions; home and foreign missions; social service; the church and the com munity life; and the movement for organic church union.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the demographic and social conditions that shaped the homogeneous population of Quebec and contributed to the dominance of the Roman Catholic Church in the province. The author argues that factors such as advantageous geography, a rigid land tenure system, and a reliance on natural resources led to the creation of a dispersed but cohesive population in which the influence of the Church grew steadily. Their analysis reveals the complex interplay between social and religious factors that shaped the unique history of Quebec, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the relationship between demography, society, and religion.
