Argues that organizations such as Catholic youth movements played a central role in formulating the Catholic ideology underlying the Quiet Revolution and shows that ordinary Quebecers experienced the Quiet Revolution through a series of transformations in the expression of their Catholic identity.A cogent study that investigates the Catholic origins of Quebec's Quiet Revolution.
"The usual interpretation of this transformation has attributed it to secular forces that were protesting clerical rigidity as much as political control. Gauvreau instead argues strongly that there was a masculine, muscular Catholicism at work, a desire for change led by practicing Catholics. The case is convincingly made." Choice "This is a work of precision, subtlety, rigor, and complexity." Dominque Marshall, history, Carleton University
