Resisting or Adapting? How Private Catholic High Schools in Quebec Respond to State Secularism and Religious Diversification
|
| Abstract |
Since the 1960s, there has been an on-going debate about secularism in Quebec's education system. Embedded in broader academic debates about processes of secularization and deconfessionalization of state institutions, religious diversification of society, and reconfiguration of Catholicism, the authors analyze how private Catholic schools in post-Quiet Revolution Quebec respond to the challenges posed by the secularizing pressures of the state, and the religious diversification of their target populations. Based on a qualitative case study conducted in two private-partially-publicly-funded Catholic or Catholic-oriented high schools (one Anglophone, one Francophone) in Quebec, the authors argue that the different approaches observed result from the different processes of internal secularization that these two schools have gone through. The authors found that for Anglo-Catholics in Quebec religious belonging, practice, and education still remain important components of their identity, and secularizing policies of the state are viewed as an external imposition.
