Anti Catholicism: It's been around a while...

... but it used to be better written.  From the Telegram, a Toronto daily newspaper, September 29, 1876, comes this little gem:


A CATHOLIC PROTEST AGAINST ULTRAMONTANISM.
Mr. Buies, the editor of the Reveil, which Archbishop Taschereau has caused to be denounced in all the churches of his diocese for discussing religious questions, has printed a spirited reply to his lordship, which shows that there is at least one Frenchman who does not cower beneath the knotted whip of Ultramontanism. His reply is Frenchy in its tone, but there is a manly outspokenness and grit displayed in it that leads us to hope that the intellectual emancipation of Quebec is not the impossibility it might otherwise seem.
