Abstract
While the writing of a scholarly monograph frequently abstracts the author from the daily round of human relationships because it necessarily involves many solitary hours spent in archives and the quiet of a study, this particular project has been for me a particularly satisfying one, as it has both deepened old friendships and forged new ones.Many individuals and institutions have given generously of their time and expertise to offer me the benefits of their support, insight, and advice.My most profound intellectual and personal debt, as always, is to Nancy Christie, who several years ago urged me to set aside a more amorphous research project on nineteenth-century Protestantism, and explore the twentieth-century relationship between religion and modernity.She also generously provided me with an opportunity to publish my early findings on the new relationship between Quebec Catholicism and ideas of gender and marriage, which form a critical pillar of this study.As the research progressed, I was fortunate to encounter many historians of Quebec who are fascinated with the role of religious identities and institutions.At an early stage of defining the topic more clearly, I benefited from the advice of Pierre Trepanier and Jacques Rouillard.Roberto Perm, from the perspective of his own researches into twentieth-century Catholicism, offered a piece of advice that I have endeavoured to apply -to avoid being caught up in the continued mythmaking surrounding the Quiet Revolution.Audiences at the Canadian Historical Association, the Universite du Quebec a Montreal, the Catholic University of America, McMaster University, and Universite Laval heard various versions of the interpretation, and were open and fulsome with their criticism and advice.More importantly, long conversations over many coffee breaks and evening dinners in Toronto and Montreal with Ollivier Hubert sharpened my thinking about the nature of cultural history and the place of Catholicism in Quebec historiography.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
