Political peace is a far different thing than living for ‘freedom and justice for all’ which brings an internal sense of peace with your own humanity. Living for "freedom and justice for all" sooner or later leads to actions and what one particular group believes is the appropriate rule of law. Reconcile the "freedom and justice for all" concept under the objections the colonists had to the Quebec Act. The Williamite Penal Laws in place against Catholics in the 14 Colony's at the time of the American Revolution, which the Quebec Act of 1774 enacted by George III would have abrogated * Catholics could not vote * Catholics were excluded from all professions and public offices * Catholics were not allowed a university education * Catholics could not teach children * Catholics could not be the guardian of a child * Catholic men could not marry Protestant women. Catholic women could marry Protestant men because children were brought up in the faith of their father: any children from this sort of mixed marriage would be brought up as Protestants * Catholics could not buy land * Catholics could not own a horse worth more than £5 * Catholics could not be given, be sold, or be bequeathed land by Protestants * All land owned by a Catholic had to be equally divided among his sons on his death, unless one son was a Protestant, in which case he got it all. The law of primogeniture was suspended for Catholics * All priests had to be registered. All Bishops were exiled. * Catholic Churches could have neither bells nor steeples * Pilgrimages were forbidden Priests did not officially exist since Anglicanism was the established Church. Priests relied on their congregations for gifts of food and money for their survival, while Anglican clergy had vast estates and few parishioners. Roman Catholics had to pay tithes (one tenth of their income) to the Anglican Church, and often paid rents as well. freemasonrywatch.org jttmab
