- Abstract
This article studies the links between ultramontanism and French Canadian nationalism. If the influence of the ultramontane doctrine in French Canada, its networks and its politico-religious quarrels, has been the subject of many researchs, less has been written on its view of the national question. Unlike French ultramontanism - monarchist, critique of "national churches" and strongly universalist -, French Canadian ultramontanism readily adheres to a certain romantic idea of nations: the project of a "counter-society", fully Catholic, here becomes a project of nation-building. To explore this "elective affinity" between ultramontanism and nationalism in French Canada, this article first provides an overview of the thought of "reformist " Etienne Parent, on which Fernand Ouellet observed the influence of "theocratic doctrines". It then studies various facets of Mennaisian ultramontanism, especially the providential role given to the people and its customs, its will to institutionalize social life, and its fierce combat for the Church's indépendance. In so doing, it situates French Canadian nationalism among the many types of nation building, that of "cultural nations without sovereign state", where the constitution of a "Church-Nation" has the best chance to occur
