Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a significant legal battle between the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Montreal and the publishers of the independent journal Le Canada-Revue, a publication frequently critical of the Catholic Church and its teachings. The legal case, which took place in the late 19th century, was brought by the publishers after the Archbishop issued a circular condemning and forbidding Catholics from reading the journal. The circular, the publishers argued, was an unjust interference with their business and a violation of their rights as a free press. The detailed examination of the legal arguments and context provided in this book reveals not only the complex relationship between church and state in 19th-century Canada but also the broader tensions between freedom of expression, religious authority, and the rights of individuals.
