There was I think only a small window of time that Huguenots were even allowed to settle in Canada...from like 1600 to 1620-something or other. After that, France didn't allow any more Protestants to emigrate to the New World, which is one of the reasons Quebec turned out so solidly Catholic despite the religious division in the homeland.
Wmfights is right...nobody's hands are spotless in this mess. Old Scratch knows human nature well enough to see to that.
What role do you believe (if any) did a church becoming dominant in a state have in how doctrine/dogma was established.
I think this is where liberty in Jesus Christ, or dependence on a church is triggered (the state-church connection). I don't think this is limited to the RCC. From what I've learned of the Reformation churches they have some similarities in structure and beliefs.
