Pierre Paul Grégoire

Pierre Paul Grégoire was a notable Canadian Catholic priest and political figure in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was influential in advocating for civil rights and the separation of church and state in Lower Canada (now Quebec). Grégoire supported reforms that aimed to increase the role of elected representatives and reduce the power of the church in government. He also contributed to journalism and public debates about governance and religion, helping shape Canada's path toward a more autonomous, pluralistic society.
