please, read the article very interesting site "Totus Tuus network" which is titled " A law bans schools from teaching and imposes confessional ethics courses State QUÉBEC - SECULARISM AND FAITH / 1 Journey to a land that until 50 years ago was considered the most Catholic of North America A sick society of relativism . "
The article begins like this:
" Who walk casually to rue Saint Laurent, in Petite Italie in the Italian neighborhood, known a luxury condominium by imposing structure. Only looking up acknowledges, the two towers next to the geometric front facade, which What was originally the palace. Saint Jean de la Croix, big old unused church in a city where attendance at Sunday Mass is 5%, was sold: removed the bells, the aisles turned into apartments to thousands of dollars a meter framework. It is not the only, Saint Jean, to have suffered this fate, in a city that boasted 300 churches and monasteries, in a Quebec considered until fifty years ago, the most Catholic country in North America. Now the churches are empty , young people live together without getting married, and rarely baptize the few children that are born (the birth rate is below the 1.6 children per woman, less than in Italy). Not even for the funeral back in the parish: many now, says Don Pierangelo Paternieri , pastor of Our Lady of Pompeii, prefer the "Funeral house". It leads us to visit one,. From the outside, it looks like a McDonald's, or a supermarket. Inside, a clerk supervises six mortuaries and velvet carpet, complete with banquet room and playroom for children. It 's all very well organized, for a fee of $ 20,000 to the deceased (' do 50 deaths per month ', says with an air of the managerial employee). However, here the most of the dead can have a quick blessing, assuming it is a Christian. Not with a funeral Mass - is used less and less . "."
Now, in Canada there is a great paradox: while in English-speaking Canada (and predominantly Protestant), the Catholic Church is all in all respected and enjoys a certain prestige in Quebec , the centerpiece of the French-speaking Canada and of Catholic, things are different. Here there was a secularization aggressive. What happened to this piece of North America that until the 20s of the last century was the center of American Catholicism ? The answer may be in quest of Article words:
" John Zucchi, Professor of History at McGill University in Canada and translator of the books of Fr Giussani says: "Before the war, all in Quebec was in the hands of the Church: hospitals , union, school, so that only in '64 was born the Ministry of Education. Between 1935 and 1959 the governments of the conservative Maurice Duplessis They got close a strong alliance with the Catholic Church, but also instrumental. Then, in the sixties bursts what we call the 'quiet revolution'. The influence of Marxist culture and the explosion of statism intersect the impact of Vatican II. Many priests abandon the robe. The Church seems turning inward. Takes hold, the generation that today is 50 years old, a visible resentment toward what is Catholic. In 1985 the university I could not afford to speak positively of the Church, students, Francophone and Catholic origin, not tolerated. Our generation is the most bitter . "".
Let's say for the culture and mentality of Quebec is more European and non-American.
While in the rest of Canada (as in the neighboring United States of America) is that healthy culture anti-Marxist and anti-statist (which I like a lot because of my aversion to communism), Quebec (just for the greater influence European) is the exact opposite happened.
I remember, for example, in the neighboring United States of America the churches are always full and the ethical and religious are relevant even in the election of the American president.
I confess, that is the company that pleases me.
This Europe of zombies ammorbati secularism simply makes me shudder.
That this opinion, I go along with the speech.
In Quebec occurred what I'm talking about now.
In that portion of Canada revealed a clerical mentality, if not anti-Catholic.
In fact, there has been an explosion of statism and Marxism, almost as if to contrast to English speakers.
To make the cost of this rebellion was the Catholic Church, which had long been a tool of their opposition to the Anglo-Saxon Protestant and the rest of Canada.
Proponents of this secularism systematically use the immigration issue to undermine what Pope Francis called "sociological Christianity" from Quebec.
In practice, Quebec is happening the same thing is happening here in Italy and in the rest of Europe.
Since there are non-Christian immigrants, for secularists, you must remove the crucifixes, no longer have to sing Christmas songs and religion must become a private matter.
This is wrong.
In practice, it is destroying the identity of a people.
Although religious practice falls, Christianity is part of the cultural identity of Quebec, Canada, North America and the West.
We think of the flourishing religious art, like the beautiful cathedrals and churches.
At the center of every European city there is a cathedral, as there is every parish in the center of each city in Europe.
In Canada there are none.
I quote the Cathedral of the Holy Rosary of Vancouver or the Shrine of St. Joseph in Montreal.
Then, you have to understand that here you are going wrong.
For secularists of Quebec would like to say that if they want to make "laity" (according to their thinking) take away from the flag of their State the cross and lilies, flowers tied to the Marian tradition.
Best regards.
