Should Not Meet wi n Protestants.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 19.-Arch-
bishop Katzer has received a copy of
the letter of Pope l. 10, sent TO Mgr.
Satolli, bearing on religious congresses.
From the tone of tht letter it would
seem evident that in the future Catho-
lies will not meet with Protestant
bodies, but conduct their conventions
separately, though jpen TO all, with
the privilege of allowing the members
of other denominations To ask any ques-
tions they NAV see fiji No reference is
made to the worlds Religious congress
in particular, and n4ther is there a
single word which can be termed
derogatory to the great convention.
The docrment is typ4vritten, in Latin,
and addressed to igr Satolli. 1t
simply states that 4 ne knowledge of
such conventions bei4g held has come
to the attention of tht pope, and he ex-
presses the convictio9 that it would be
better perhaps for catholics TO meet
separately.
