There were three kinds of clergy in Canada: the Jesuits, the Priests, and the Recollets. The first were considered so much superior to the rest, that the Canadians had the following proverb to show how much the one surpassed the other .---Pour faire un Recollet, il faut une hachette, pour un Pretre un ciseau, mais pour un Jesuite, il faut un pinceau. "--" To make a Recollet you must have an axe, for a Priest a chisel, but for a Jesuit you must have a pencil." [Source]
