How crosses got in courthouses...

That Cardinal Rouleau.

He's the one who got the crucifixes stacked tacked and packed to the walls of official buildings in Quebec.

He started by convincing the authorities to put a cross in every courthouse in The Greater Crossbecistan Region.

Rouleau, as most of Quebec's Archbishops, was also a Cardinal.

He became Archery Bishop in 1927,

Soon after that he became the third Canadian to don the crimson cardinal cap.

But 1931 was not such a good year for the old cape wearing Rouleau because he died.

Oceans of tears flowed. City sewers were overwhelmed by the salty flow. Or so we imagine. Soon our MNAs were gettin' their cruci-fix as well as. The son of God's two by fours were tacked onto the walls of the provincial legislature in 1936.
