Father Chiniquy alleged in this major work that the confessions
of female parishioners caused some
Roman Catholic priests to end their
vows of celibacy. This certainly had been his own experience
and led to his excommunication. The Protestants embraced him when
he began his furious campaign against
the “Church of Rome.” He made few converts in French Canada.

Alexandra in Toronto,” served as Calgary’s
centre for the performing arts for over a generation..
