I don't think you know what happened in Quebec. It wasn't due to changes with the Second Vatican Council or any liberalization of the Catholic Church. It was exactly the opposite. It was the further and further encroachment of the Catholic Church into the life of Quebecois. What followed was a rebellion against the Catholic Church. Read up on the Quiet Revolution.
I am aware of the Quiet Revolution. You'd have to understand, again, the context. The 1960s coincided with the Sexual Revolution as well when abortion, and sexual promiscuity, was on the rise, and became widely popular. The church, obviously, would respond rather harshly. Whether or not this was the palatable response is irrelevant, it is expected that the church would reject those ideas. Naturally, the response is a rejection of that, and an attempt to contain it. However, I don't think this intense secularisation will last in Quebec, there will be a rise in traditionalism in there. France today is home to the largest conservative Catholic community, and that is in spite of the French Revolution, and the French socialist thinkers.
As for your remarks about being virtuous, I don't apply that in politics. Contemporary politics is lacking in virtue, regardless whether you're leftist, or a right-winger. Alasdair MacIntyre, a Christian philosopher, wrote about it in his book After Virtue. There is also the Machiavelli's book, The Prince, which speaks about politics as being about power, and that being virtuous does not apply, being virtuous did not save people from political assassination. You cannot apply the virtues in contemporary politics because it is a lost cause, because most people in politics lack virtue themselves, because politics is about power. We can speak of ethics, where we try to be ethical (doing the least harm) when it comes to politics, such as regulations on abortion, or whether criminals should be deterred, or rehabilitated. I will speak harshly when it comes to, for example, the preservation of our heritage in the political sense, because platitudes about the seven virtues has no effect on business interests that want to sell out this country. A good example, the last emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, his Christian Orthodox virtues did not save him from being straggled to death by socialists and communists in 1968. In terms of politics, you fight with a sharp tongue, and if needed, even brutish.
Thus, in terms of politics, I do speak harshly, because powerful politicians and elites are only looking out for their interest, not for the interest of the good, but its completely different in my private life. I am an ultra softy in my private life, I like cheesy stuff like gardening, cooking, and painting, and you'd mistake me for a softy bleeding heart liberal. But politically, I am right-wing hardcore, because these politicians and these powerful people treat us like cannon fodder.
