Excerpt from The Bystander: A Monthly Review of Current Events, Canadian and General; October 1889, to September, 1890

We might have been prepared for this turn of events ever since aggressive Ultramontanism ousted quiet 08.11i from the Church of Quebec; certainly ever since the Jesuit got the helm into his hands. Some years ago Abbe Gingras put forth a pamphlet in which, after glorifying the Dark Ages, justifying the Inquisition, asserting the right of the Church to over-rule the Civil power, and of the Clergy to interfere in elections, he described the necessary policy of French states men towards the Dominion as one of conciliation, more or less elastic, with a covert aim, - that is to say, the creation of a French and Papal nationality - in their minds. The history of Canada used in French Canadian schools breathes not French patriotism only, but antagonism to the British. It belittles their victories, exults in those of the French over them, presents them in an odious light, and accuses them of wishing to oppress French Canada as they oppressed Ireland.
