Excerpt from Ulster and Home Rule: A Canadian Parallel
Lion of Quebec, would be at the mercy of an overwhelming majority, swayed and directed by the priesthood. Their situation was exactly that oi the minority in Ireland at the present time, who truly say that so long as Ireland is united to Britain they are safe, but the moment the tie is cut and they pass under the government of a Home Rule Legislaturs they will be, as a people, abandoned to their enemies. The Protestants of Quebec, forty-five years ago, used exactly the same language as is today heard in Ulster. Not all, for there were othcr voices, coming from those who professed to be superior to pre judice, who scouted the idea of the Papacy being hostile to British rights, declaring the alarm was raised by those who were con juring a ghost of the past to defeat a wise and desirable legislative measure. They ex pressed entire confidence in the majority. As serting Protestants would be as secure in their rights under thom as in the Union with Ontario. They laughed at the fears of their cc-religionists as silly prejudices, ask ing them to clasp hands with their Catholic neighbours in working out a glorious destinv for Quebec and all Canada.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique and intriguing study of the parallels between the experiences of Protestants in Quebec and the potential future of Protestants in Ireland under Home Rule. The author, a Canadian, draws on his knowledge of both regions to provide a thought-provoking analysis of the impact of Catholic rule on Protestant minorities. Through historical accounts and personal observations, the book delves into themes of religious freedom, political power, and the erosion of civil rights. It challenges the notion that the Church of Rome has abandoned its hostile stance towards Protestantism and raises concerns about the potential consequences of placing Protestants under the control of a Catholic majority. By examining the lessons learned from Quebec's experience with Home Rule, this book offers valuable insights for understanding the potential implications of a similar system in Ireland. Its exploration of the delicate balance between religious and political authority makes it a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religious conflict and the ongoing debates surrounding the separation of church and state.
