The Catholic Congress in Frankfort,

A letter from Frankfort in the Monde gives some
details of the Catholic Congress which has just met
in that city. It says :
" The city of Frankfort, including its dependen-
cies, contains 20,000 Catholics in a population of
about 90,000. They form a single parish, and
possess five churches, with different religious insti-
tutions and associations. On Sunday, the 20th,
250 delegates of the Catholic societies, not counting
the other members, assembled in a preparatory sit-
ting under the presidency of Mgr. Thissen, chief
ecclesiastic of the place. The following day the
Congress in its first general sitting was definitely
constituted by the election of Baron de Ketteler,
brother of the Bishop of Mentz, as President. The
Baron and Mgr. Thissen were formerly Prussian
deputies, and were among the number of those who
founded and organised the Catholic section of the
Berlin Chamber. The Bishops of Mentz, Limburg,
and the coadjutor Bishop of Cologne had
promised to be present at the Congress, but were
unavoidably absent. The grand mass which pre-
ceded the sitting was consequently performed by
M. Stein, the cure of Cologne. After the organisa-
tion of the five sections, for missions, works of
charity, Christian art, the sciences, and the press—
the President informed the assembly that the Holy
Father had deigned to graciously reply to the news
transmitted to him of the convocation of the Con-
gress, by sending his apostolic benediction. M.
Lingens, of Aix .la-Chapelle, then read the minutes
of the preceding Congress. M, Philipps spoke of
the former President, Count de Brandis, who had
died since the last meeting: A religious service
was performed for the late President, at which all
the members of the Congress were present. M.
Philipps, who represents the Catholic University in
the committee, announced that the Holy Father had
chosen the Cardinal Archbishop of Cologne as his
representative, with the assistance of the Bishops
of Mentz and Paderborn.
