Description: "In A History of Canadian Catholics Terence Fay relates the long story of the Catholic Church and its followers, beginning with how the church and its adherents came to Canada, how the church established itself, and how Catholic spirituality played a part in shaping Canadian society. He also describes how recent social forces have influenced the church.

Using an abundance of sources, Fay discusses Gallicanism (French spirituality), Romanism (Roman spirituality), and Canadianism (the indigenisation of Catholic spirituality in the Canadian lifestyle)." "A History of Canadian Catholics is especially timely for students of religion and history and will also be of interest to the general reader who would like an understanding of the development of Catholic roots in Canadian soil."--BOOK JACKET.
