Caught In the Crossfire

Fr. Rale was one of several Catholic priests who resisted the expansion of the British Empire in the colonies during the 18th century. Joe Moreshead gave three talks in March 2026 evaluating the actions of three such priests from a Catholic perspective: Fr. Pierre Biard, Fr. Sebastian Rale, and Fr. Jean Le Loutre. This talk on Fr. Rale is the second of the series.

Class 1: Fr. Pierre Biard (1613)

Class 2: Fr. Sebastian Rale (1695-1724)

Class 3: Fr. Jean Le Loutre (1735-1755)
