...this concentrated assault? And why should it come just now?" asked Fraser. His answer: it was partly retaliation for last year's prolonged strike at Asbestos, Que., in which certain clerics defied the Duplessis government and supported labor. "Leader in this prolabor, anti-Duplessis swing was Msgr. Joseph Charbonneau, Archbishop of Montreal, [who] last winter was summarily dismissed. Ostensibly he retired 'for reasons of health.'. . .

At the same time the church made it sharply clear that his appointment was in no way a repudiation of Charbonneau (who last week was made a Roman count and a special assistant to the Pope). In a 35,000-word pastoral letter, a summary of which was read last Sunday from Roman Catholic pulpits in the province, Quebec's bishops firmly restated the church's principles on labor. Echoing...
