  • Quebec Education: the Unfinished Revolution
    Norman Henchty Quebec Education: The Unfinished Revolution Profound changes have taken place in the Province of Quebec since 1960. The period is described as the Quiet Revo­ lution and like all genuine revolutions change penetrated deeply into every aspect of the society - the identity, the culture, the institutions, and the people. The French-speaking Quebecer was once defined by his attachment to tradition, his allegiance to the Church, his elitist view of society, his distrust of change, and his detachment from the economic life of the continent. But a new definition has been emerging over the last decade: concern for the present, adherence to a secular and political ethic, an egalitarian view of society, a commit­ ment to change, an engagement in the technology and econ­ omics of the post-industrial state. As the identity of the French Quebecer alters, the tradi­ tional assumptions on which the English Quebecer has oper­ ated no longer hold. His economic and social cocoon has been broken open and he finds himself a member of a minority group, a stranger in a strange land. His identity is trans­ formed and in an ironic way he exchanges places with the French: it is now the English Quebecer who worries about the survival of his culture and language, who seeks his security in tradition, who stands on his constitutional rights. As identities change, so do cultures and institutions. Churches and convents, once the citadels of power, become shrines of a history turned aside; the theology and history of the classical college become the sociology and informatique of the Cegeps; the triumvirate of doctor-lawyer-priest becomes that of bureaucrat-accountant-animateur .

(Please see Appendix 1 to this report for a fuller description.) “Along with a rigorous academic programme based on an orderly progression throughout the years of studies, each school year was interspersed with exercises of repetitio (repetition, review) and honesta aemulatio (honest rivalry or competition). These were regular reviews of class material along with innumerable disputationes (debates), concertationes (academic presentations), spelling-bees and quizzes aimed to encourage students to emulate each other in achieving academic excellence.” (Joseph B.

(December 2011) William Francis Collopy, B.A., Iona College; M.L.A., University of St. Thomas Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Harold C. Livesay The dissertation argues that Catholicism’s theology and sacramentalism constituted the foundation of a ministry that from Reconstruction through the 1930s extended the religion’s reach in the U.S. beyond its historical loci of numerical strength and influence to African American communities in the South. The dissertation draws on decrees of the Council of Trent, papal encyclicals, pastoral letters, theological treatises, and Catholic interpretation of Judeo-Christian scripture to demonstrate that the Church’s beliefs manifestly shaped its African American ministry.
