Congress of American Catholics

By Editor

A CONGRESS of American Catholics is to be held in Baltimore next November. Referring to this meeting, the Catholic Mirror says: “A number of prominent Catholic laymen have been invited to read papers on topics relating to Catholic interests. The congress will be an event of the first importance.” And we presume that a prominent feature of the congress will be a demand for the restoration of the temporal power of the Pope. This has been a prominent feature in similar congresses held in a number of European countries within the past few weeks. The crafty Leo will leave no stone unturned to manufacture public sentiment in favor of what he is pleased to call his “rights.”
