Regarding the Quebec and Intolerable Acts

I really don't understand what these acts did. Can someone explain in their own words what it enforced? Thanks.

Alright, so the coersive acts did:

  1. closed the port of Boston to all trade until the tea was paid for from the boston tea party
  2. Increased the power of the Massachusetts governor while decreasing the power of the legislature
  3. Allowed the king to grant more pardons...maybe? (provided that royal acquittal might be greater)
  4. Let General Thomas Gage house his soldiers whereever he pleased, including unoccupied private houses

The Quebec act added land to quebec so that it stretched to the Ohio River, which gave them land that the colonists wanted so badly. Also, it made the religion of england the official religion of Quebec which angered the colonists. Lastly, it made it so there was no representative government in Quebec which wasn't really as touchy a point as the other two.

So together, the coersive acts and the Quebec act made up the intolerable acts

I thought the Quebec Act made the offical religion Catholicism?
