The Church in Canadian Culture

From the article,

But this is the 21st century, and times are changing and changing fast. Clearly the Church in Canada is no longer in a position of societal privilege. It seems our influence is being challenged at every turn. Whether it be in school curricula, bio-medical ethics or the definition of marriage and the family, the Church's position is under attack by opponents who are resentful of past influence and seek to nullify it in the future.

And we do not like it. Not one bit. We are the guys that are used to "having all the luck" and we're not comfortable slipping into the ranks of the guys that "have all the pain." So we respond with our court challenges, our political lobbies, our letter-writing campaigns to members of Parliament and Legislative Assemblies.
