Padres Under Fire [microform] : a Study of the Canadian Chaplain Services (Protestant and Roman Catholic) in the Second World War - Summary
This comprehensive doctoral thesis examines the vital role of Canadian military chaplains during World War II, focusing on both Protestant and Roman Catholic clergy who served alongside Canadian forces. The study delves into the challenges, experiences, and contributions of these religious leaders who provided spiritual guidance and emotional support to soldiers under extreme circumstances. Through extensive research and analysis of historical documents, Hamilton presents a detailed account of how these chaplains balanced their religious duties with military service while maintaining their faith-based principles in the face of war's harsh realities.

FAQ's
Canadian chaplains were unique in their structured dual-stream approach (Protestant and Catholic) while maintaining strong interfaith cooperation, setting them apart from other Allied forces' chaplaincy services.
Chaplains had to balance military regulations with religious duties, face moral dilemmas regarding combat, and develop methods to provide spiritual care while under fire, often risking their lives to reach soldiers in need.
