Society Of Saint-Sulpice
The Society of Priests of Saint-Sulpice (; PSS), also known as the Sulpicians, is a society of apostolic life of Pontifical Right for men, named after the Church of Saint-Sulpice, Paris, where it was founded.

Joseph-Alexandre Baile
Joseph-Alexandre Baile (19 April 1801 – 31 July 1888) was a Sulpician priest and administrator of seminaries in Montreal. Baile was often in conflict with Joseph-Vincent Quiblier, the superior of the Sulpicians in Canada. He also opposed splitting the Notre-Dame parish of Montreal, and verbally fought with Ignace Bourget about that issue to such an extent that Catholic officials in Rome ended up having to settle the matter themselves by decree. Baile was also a spiritual guide for the Grey Nuns, and helped establish a new seminary in the town of Oka. He retired in 1881 and died in Montreal. Early life Baile was born on 19 April 1801 in Saint-Genest-de-Beauzon, France. He studied with the Basilians, then entered a Sulpician novitiate in 1823. Two years later, he was sent to Canada and ordained a priest in October 1826.

Born in France, Quiblier moved to Montreal in 1825 with Joseph-Alexandre Baile and almost immediately became involved as a Sulpician educator at the Petit Séminaire de Montréal. Although he was young and poorly trained, there was a great need to fill teaching positions at the seminary. By 1828, he was the director there and seems to have had the confidence of the French Canadian Sulpicians. However, this group appears to have been in conflict with the rest of Catholic community including Archbishop Bernard-Claude Panet.

19th-century Canadian Roman Catholic Priests
The 19th century began on 1 January 1801 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 (MCM). It was the 9th century of the 2nd millennium. It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanded beyond its British homeland for the first time during the 19th century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, France, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Catholic Church, in response to the growing influence and power of modernism, secularism and materialism, formed the First Vatican Council in the late 19th century to deal with such problems and confirm ce ...
