Pressure mounts to depose Ledochowski in Prussia crisis
The North German Gazette reports legal steps to strip Monsignor Ledochowski of power in the Gnesen and Posen dioceses. Protests, court actions, and potential exile follow, with a broad crackdown on Catholic leaders and new measures like civil marriage and clerical depositions under a forthcoming Supplementary Ecclesiastical Bill. The clampdown extends across Berlin, Geneva, and Swiss fronts, amid widespread feuds between church and state.
