Self-discipline, chastity, prayer and the sacraments
Apr 17, 2005
The Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, 59, Archbishop of Quebec, is a Sulpician. He never imagined when he went home to Quebec last December to take up the reins of the archdiocese that he would be back in Rome so soon.
(The Tablet, 23 April 2005) A member of the Pontifical Academy of Theology and the Curia's Commission for the Church in Eastern Europe, he was appointed in 2001 secretary of the Christian unity council. Fluent in French, English, German, Spanish and Italian, he is known for strictly following Church teaching on controversial matters.
His reception in a decidedly non-traditional diocese has not been always smooth. He has urged young people to practise self-discipline, chastity, prayer and the sacraments, and is known to be worried by the suicide rate among young people in Quebec.
