| مستخلص: |
Two occasions when Protestants attacked Roman Catholic religious processions in Victorian Toronto - the 1864 Corpus Christi celebrations and the Jubilee Riots of 1875 - provide opportunities for deepening understandings of liberal discourse in relationship to public order in Canada. The intensity of the religious disputes grew from differences in religious belief and ethnicity and from established patterns of public behaviour. Catholic processionists asserted their presence as a religious minority with a history of collective rights in Canada and as believers doing what God and the Church willed. Some Protestants, many of them Orangemen, tried to prevent open displays of Catholicism in a city that was three-quarters Protestant. Meantime, other Torontonians called for tolerance of religious difference, a position that drew the ire of commentators in the evangelical religious press. The violence and the heated debates about religious rights reveal strong challenges to the making of the liberal order. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
