text: Good heavens! Have you been to Quebec Province recently? Nothing is "gone with the wind," as you say. The Church in Quebec does quite well, especially since parishes aren't closed but restored and renovated as part of the religious heritage of Quebec. About 10 years ago the Province entered into a partnership with the church in financing these religious sites. And though various reasons or meanings are given to Quebec "regularity" and "practice," still more than 82% of the population self-identifies as Catholic there (only Mexico has a higher percentage in North America). Finally, they tend not to color or shade every form of participation or belief with a class or moral category of identity: good Catholic/bad one; weekly/seasonal; cultural/ observant, etc. They are tolerant of all fellow Catholics in that regard (but could be a little more tolerant of Muslim women). The CC there is quite different from the way it was 60 years ago, but not by a long shot is it "gone with the wind."
