...this concentrated assault? And why should it come just now?" asked Fraser. His answer: it was partly retaliation for last year's prolonged strike at Asbestos, Que., in which certain clerics defied the Duplessis government and supported labor. "Leader in this prolabor, anti-Duplessis swing was Msgr. Joseph Charbonneau, Archbishop of Montreal, [who] last winter was summarily dismissed. Ostensibly he retired 'for reasons of health.'. . . Against Levesque [and his followers] are all the men who want Quebec to stay exactly as it is, or . . . as it was 50 years ago; for him, the men who believe change...
...leaders were not pleased over the belligerent and partisan Maclean's article. In Ottawa, Apostolic Delegate Msgr. Ildebrando Antoniutti said Fraser was "badly informed," his article "evidently tendentious." Archbishop Paul-Emile Leger, who had been trying to pour oil over the controversial waters after the resignation of Msgr. Charbonneau, was rumored to be "unhappy...
Ever since Monsignor Joseph Charbonneau's sudden resignation last month (TIME, Feb. 20), Quebec has been wondering who would take his place in Montreal's red brick archbishop's palace.

When Archbishop Charbonneau resigned "for reasons of health," the rumor persisted, despite official denial, that the church had eased him out because he had carried his pro-labor policy...
...Christians. Msgr. Léger, who had not been directly involved in the Quebec struggle, had a chance to bring about better church relations with Premier Duplessis. At the same time the church made it sharply clear that his appointment was in no way a repudiation of Charbonneau (who last week was made a Roman count and a special assistant to the Pope). In a 35,000-word pastoral letter, a summary of which was read last Sunday from Roman Catholic pulpits in the province, Quebec's bishops firmly restated the church's principles on labor. Echoing...
