C. Re [A.] McDonell's project to establish an independent bishopric in Upper Canada, the writer is deeply worried. He fears that Upper Canada will experience the same difficulties as Nova Scotia, where, after [E.] Burke's appointment [as vicar apostolic] on [27 June] 1817 [see Varia 316], only a few second-rate European priests arrived, the Scots and the Irish were not provided for, the Acadian and Indian missions were abandoned, and the vacancy that followed Burke's death in 1820 continues to this date. There being no seminary in Upper Canada, the new bp. will employ "vagabond ecclesiastics" discarded by their bp.s, while Canadian priests will return to Lower Canada, as they prefer to be under the [a]bp. of Québec than under "a foreigner". The English government's opposition prevents the only real solution, namely, the erection of an archbishopric [in Québec]. PF notes (from Gradwell to Caprano).
