Secularism and religious heritage conservation in Quebec
This article examines the process of the conservation of the Catholic heritage in Quebec over the past two decades. Through the analysis of cases and salient debates such as the Bouchard-Taylor Commission on reasonable accommodation, the draft Quebec Charter of Values proposed by the Parti Québécois, the debates around the crucifix in the National Assembly, and prosecutions and court judgments regarding prayer in Saguenay, we study the discursive, material and legal forms by which Catholic practices and symbols are resacralized as elements of the Quebec nation and its history.
