Title
Not Quite Us: Anti-Catholic Thought in English Canada since 1900
Abstract
The author maintains that in twentieth-century Canada, mainline Protestants, fundamentalists, liberal nationalists, monarchists, conservative Anglophiles, and left-wing intellectuals had one thing in common: they all subscribed to a centuries-old world view that Catholicism was an authoritarian, regressive, untrustworthy, and foreign force that did not fit into a democratic, British nation like Canada. Analyzing the connections between anti-Catholicism and national identity in English Canada, the author examines the consistency of anti-Catholic tropes in the public and private discourses of intellectuals, politicians, and clergymen, including Montreal lawyer, academic and poet Frank R. Scott.
