Title
The True Witness and Catholic Chronicle, Sixty Years of Catholic Journalistic Action
Abstract
The weekly True Witness and Catholic Chronicle was an ultramontaine Catholic Montreal newspaper, founded in 1850 by George Edward Clerk (1815-1875), as an "organ in the English language to repel the ceaseless attacks of Protestant journals..." Its main rival was The Montreal Witness, a weekly evangelical Protestant newspaper founded in 1846. The True Witness became the defender of the largest English-speaking Catholic group in Montreal, the Irish, and maintained a staunch campaign for land reform and Home Rule in Ireland.
