 year of religion in politics, The Inroads - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The occasion for Prime Minister Jean Chretien's reading from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians was, of course, the funeral of Pierre Elliott Trudeau - the state funeral, to be precise, complete with Canadian political dignitaries of all persuasions and foreign ambassadors and heads of state.
Inside the church, the imagery and content were almost entirely those of Trudeau's (and Chretien's) own Roman Catholic religion, with little evocation of the multicultural, multifaith, pluralistic Canada that so many commentators said Trudeau had helped create.
Once the casket left the church, the prevailing symbolism reverted to that of state authority an RCMP honour guard and a military salute.
