You're trying to tell me that Catholic priests determined national war policy

Where did I say that? Perhaps you had best read about what has been called the "Quiet Revolution" which took place in the 50's and early 60's in Quebec. Up until then the Catholic Church controled everything in Quebec. Religion, education, and politics . Quebec is not predominately Protestant. It's Catholic

And being born at night is no excuse for being in the dark.

If Catholic priests controlled Quebec, and the attitude of the Quebecois controlled national war policy then ipso facto Catholic priests controlled national war policy of Canada, a predominently Protestant country irrespective of what the majority religion of Quebec was at the time.
