Rome In Canada: The Ultramontane Struggle For Supremacy Over The Civil Authority - Paperback

""Rome in Canada: The Ultramontane Struggle for Supremacy over the Civil Authority"" is a historical account by Charles Lindsey that explores the conflict between the Catholic Church and the Canadian government in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The term ""Ultramontane"" refers to the belief that the Pope has ultimate authority over all aspects of Catholic life, including politics and government. The book examines how this belief led to a power struggle between the Church and the state in Canada, particularly in Quebec where Catholicism was the dominant religion. Lindsey delves into the various ways in which the Church attempted to exert its influence over the government, including through education, language laws, and political lobbying. He also explores the government's response to these efforts, which included attempts to limit the Church's power and influence. Through a thorough analysis of primary sources and historical events, Lindsey provides a comprehensive overview of this fascinating period in Canadian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
