Re the "Quebec nineteen".Could we hope to see in Catholic Insight an in-depth look at what this [letter from the 19 Quebec priests] is all about? They speak of the Silent Revolution of Quebec. In my way of looking at it, it was a threefold revolution and perhaps even a fourfold fourfold Adjective 1. having four times as many or as much 2. composed of four parts Adverb by four times as many or as much Adj. 1. revolution: * a revolution in education, when the field was removed from the control of religious men and women and given to the laity LAITY.
