Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Official Report on the Proceedings of the Catholic Congress: Held at Baltimore, MD., November 11th and 12th, 1889 The American Catholic Congress, held in Baltimore, Nov. 11-12, 1889, in connection with the memorable Catholic Centenary, of which it was a notable part, attracted a degree of attention from the press and the public not usually commanded by religious or denominational conventions in the United States. Much of this interest, doubtless, was due to the circumstances and conditions under which the congress was convened - to the religious, historical and local associations connected with the centenary celebration in Baltimore, and to the remarkable assemblage of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignitaries of every rank and order, headed by the much beloved "American Cardinal," including also the distinguished Cardinal Taschereau and his associates of the Canadian and British American hierarchy, as well as representatives from Mexico, Central America, England, Ireland, and Rome. The impressive ceremonies and the majestic pomp of the religious solemnities Sunday, Nov. 10; the powerful and strikingly eloquent orations delivered on the occasion by the Archbishops of Philadelphia and Saint Paul, combined to intensify the enthusiasm of the assembled thousands, and to increase the public interest in the celebration. Redoubled attention was thus naturally drawn to the congress of the Catholic laity. As usual, too, there was much and wide misapprehension on the part of the non-Catholic public, as to the scope and purpose of the congress, which the simplest knowledge of the relations of the Catholic layman to his church, or even a casual reading of the published "call" would have sufficed to dispel. The congress was not convened for the purpose of "reforming" the church, or to make new laws for the laity.
