Description
The appointment of John Thomas McNally as Bishop of Calgary in 1913 marked the beginning of a series of ethnic and cultural tensions in Alberta that were prevalent in eastern Canadian Catholicism. Indeed, a disputation between French and English speaking Catholics in Calgary could be considered a microcosm of the contrast in viewpoints at the national level concerning the nature of the Canadian identity. In order to enhance the prestige of Catholics, Bishop McNally used a pretense of concern about English-language education in Catholic schools that enabled him to eliminate the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a major French-speaking influence in Calgary. It was a step in his larger plan of anglicization in the Diocese, part of an even larger vision of ensuring that Catholicism would be an effective force on the prairies. La nomination de John Thomas McNally comme eveque de Calgary en 1913, marquait le debut d'une serie des tensions d'ordre ethnique et culturel en Alberta auparavant restreintes aux catholiques de l'est du Canada. La dispute entre les catholiques du langue francaise et les catholiques du langue anglaise a Calgary peuvent etre consideree comme un microcosme des contrastes et diverses perspectives concernant l'identite nationale canadienne. Afin de rehausser le prestige des catholiques, l'eveque McNally s'est servi du pretexte d'un soit disant souci pour la survie de l'education de langue anglaise dans les ecoles Catholiques, pour se debarrasser des Oblats et leur influence majoritairement francophone Calgary. C'etait une premiere etape dans son programme d'anglicisation du diocese et une partie integrale de sa vision du catholicisme comme une force importante dans l'ouest du Canada.
