Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome in Canada: The Ultramontane Struggle for Supremacy Over the Civil Authority The term 'Church Militant, ' is, in Canada, more than a figure of speech. When the temporal power of the Papacy was in the agony of dissolution, between five and six hundred French Canadian youths took up arms, with a feeling akin to rapture, and flew across the sea to the succour of the Pope. This expedition, set on foot in defiance of the law of nations, took part in a quarrel in which neither Canada nor England had any share. These Papal Zouaves of Canada, who were at war while their Sovereign was at peace, bore a flag the device on which, as seen on the cover of this book, was intended to typify their errand. This flag, the gift of the Abbe Rousselot, Cure of Montreal, was designed by M. Napoleon Bourassa, embroidered by the Nuns of the Hopital-Gneral of that city, blessed by Bishop Bourget, and borne to Rome in an expedition which the Canadian Zouaves regarded as a modern Crusade Among the organizers, officers and leaders of these Zouaves, the fiercest of Ultramontanes, were men who, when they laid down the sword, took up the pen to assail the representatives of what remained of Gallican principles, in their native land, and to demand absolute and unconditional submission to Rome. They are now panting for an opportunity to fight for the restoration of the temporal power. The device on the flag of these, ardent and enthusiastic filibusters, in which the battle-axe figures conspicuously, fitly typifies the movement which it is the object of this work to describe.
