descriptionThis Island story has its roots in Nova Scotia. One hundred and forty years ago, the Roman Catholics of Halifax, Nova Scotia, were predominantly Irish by birth or descent. A largely ethnic difference had resulted in the creation of two Roman Catholic dioceses in the colony. Cape Breton and eastern mainland Nova Scotia belonged to the Highland Scots; the Diocese of Halifax was solidly Irish. As one might expect, therefore, the local Catholic newspaper tended towards an Irish attitude in political affairs. Rather insensitively, then, has a 20th century writer, Gertrude N. Tratt, described the Register as "intended to create or foster controversy.... Frankly Irish partisan, it attacked and was attacked by the Protestant and Conservative press in the Capital."Find Similar by description
