The French authorities only allowed Catholics to move to New France primarily to ensure a unified religious identity and maintain control over the colony. As a French territory, New France was seen as an extension of Catholic France, and the government aimed to prevent religious conflicts and dissent that could arise from allowing Protestant settlers. Additionally, Catholicism was integral to the French colonial mission, which included spreading the faith among Indigenous populations. Thus, restricting migration to Catholics helped solidify the cultural and religious framework of the colony.

What day does France go to Church?

In the Catholic Church, not many. France used to be one of the highest countries in church attendance. I think now it is down to only 4% of catholics who attend Mass regularly. In the US, where it used to be 70% in the 1970's, it is down to less than 20%.
