Entry: Learning to Love the French Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/learning_to_love_the_french#12377 Post contents: A very interesting piece. I admire the achievements of New France, and regret how Quebec has tossed aside her Catholic heritage. I wish I saw signs of hope in Quebec, but I do not. When I visited Quebec in 2005, I saw more English-language visitors at Ste. Anne de Beaupre than Francophones, and when I went to Sunday Mass in the small town of Perce, on the Gaspe peninsula, I asked several people if they knew when Sunday Mass was, and no one could tell me, since they never went to church at all. When I finally arrived to Mass, the congregation was tiny, dwarfed by the large and beautiful church. Very sad. Sent at: 2008 11 23
