Abstract
AbstractThis article examines a shift in the critique of the Roman Catholic Church in Quebec on matters of sex by focusing on two plays by Michel Marc Bouchard. In Les Feluettes (1987), a hypocritical Church replete with homoerotic imagery is held morally responsible for the monstrous consequences of instilling sexual shame and denial among the adolescent boys in its charge. Lives are ruined and even obliterated in the service of social conformism and the perpetuation of clerical authority. In La Divine illusion (2015), the critique of the Church shifts to the abuse of adolescent boys by clergy and the institutional protection afforded the offenders. The Church does not stand alone in its abusive practices, however; its malfeasance is shown to intersect with, and reinforce, the power dynamics of social class in an economy of scarcity.RésuméCet article examine l’évolution de la critique de l’Église catholique au Québec autour des questions de sexe à travers deux pièces du dramaturge Michel Marc Bouchard. Dans Les Feluettes (1987), une Église hypocrite qui étale des représentations homoérotiques sans pudeur est tenue moralement responsable des conséquences monstrueuses d’inculquer la honte et le déni sexuels chez les adolescents sous sa charge. Des vies sont ruinées et même oblitérées au service du conformisme social et du maintien de l’autorité cléricale. Dans La Divine illusion (2015), la critique se déplace pour focaliser sur l’abus sexuel d’adolescents par le clergé et la protection institutionnelle dont ces derniers bénéficient. Cependant, l’Église n’y est pas seule dans sa malfaisance: les abus commis par le clergé sont en intersection avec les dynamiques de pouvoir entre classes sociales dans une économie de pénurie.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
