Catholic Problems in Western Canada

"Catholic Problems in Western Canada" by George Thomas Daly is a commentary on the state of Catholicism in the western regions of Canada during the early 1900s. The text sheds light on the unique difficulties the Catholic Church encountered while attempting to serve a diverse and expanding population spread across vast distances. Overcoming these issues required a nationwide collective effort to foster Catholic education and core beliefs. The narrative accentuates the "Call of the West," which indicates the critical need for the Church to actively participate in the lives of the people, who needed religious support. The author points out the hurdles created by the physical environment and cultural diversity, pushing for Catholics in the eastern part of Canada to step up and offer critical assistance and work together to strengthen the Church’s presence and effectiveness in the West.
