Charles-François Baillargeon

Charles-François Baillargeon (26 April 1798 – 13 October 1870) was a Canadian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Quebec. Quotes The call of the Head of the Church is for us a command, As a child of the Church, and still more as a Bishop, we owe Him obedience; this obedience we have sworn to give Him on the day of our consecration. Lis command is for us the command of the Vicar of Jesus-Christ: we accordingly receive it as coming to us from Jesus Christ Himself, We shall therefore obey with joy. Yes, in spite of our advanced age and the weakness of our health, it is with a holy joy that we shall set out for the eternal city.
