Description

The Roman Catholic Church in PEI in the nineteenth century was threatened by ethnic tension, poverty, and anti-Catholicism. Scottish Highlanders, Irish, and Acadians fought for clerical and episcopal control of the Church. In addition, PEI was Canada's most impoverished province and there are indications that Catholics were more cash strapped than their Protestant neighbours. Finally, the Bible Question aroused potent anti-Catholicism in the 1850s and 1860s. In the following decades, the Roman Catholic Church, in response to these threats and strengthened by the tenets of Ultramontanism, created highly successful, independent Catholic social institutions. These health and educational institutions not only stabilized the forty-five percent of the population that was Catholic, but also contributed greatly to the strength of Island Catholicism throughout the twentieth century. Au cours du 19[centigrade] l'eglise catholique de l'lle du Prince Edouard etait menacee par des tensions d'ordre ethnique, la pauvrete ainsi que par un climat anti-catholique tres prononce. De plus les catholiques d'origine ecossaise, irlandaise et acadienne se querellaient entre eux pour le controle du siege episcopal et de la hierarchie de l'Eglise. A cette epoque, l'Ile du Prince Edouard etait l'une des provinces les plus pauvres du pays et les Catholiques en particulier encore plus pauvres que leurs voisins protestants. Enfin, la controverse au sujet de la Bible a snscite un fort sentiment anti-catholique au cours des annees 1850 et 1860. Dans les decennies qui on suivi, l'Eglise Catholique a reagi ces menaces par tin renforcement des ideaux ultramontains et l'implantation tres reussie d'institutions sociales independantes catholiques. Ces institutions dans le secteur de la sante et de l'education ont joue non seulement un role stabilisateur aupres dii 45% de la population de 1'ile qui s'identifiait comme Catholique, mais egalement continue contribuer au developpement et a la croissance de la population Catholique au cours du vingtieme siecle.
