The Historical Context of North American Theology : The Canadian Story

Donovan, Daniel L.

Text of a brief presentation on the history of Canadian "Catholicisms," owing to the traditions established in Canada's New France, and to those of Scots, Irish, and eastern European immigrant groups to Canada in the early nineteenth century. A descriptive timeline of the Québec Catholic Church from 1763 to the 1980s, with an emphasis on theological thought and its historical underpinnings in a Canadian context, Québec nationalism, and ultramontanism. Descriptions of English Canadian Catholicism. The divisions, similarities, and relationships of these theologies as elements of what the author calls, "the Canadian experiment" (22).
