"Con" is the opposite of "Pro", Agreed?

Therefore "Congress" is the opposite of "Progress".

Depends on the 'con', actually.

And irrelevant here anyway, since 'con' by itself stands for convention, convict or confidence. And as far as I have been able to discover, there are no proventions, provicts or profidence games circulating to provide an opposite to it.

CONgress is more complimented by PROfessional than opposed. Both sell themselves for services rendered, no?

And I think we can all agree that the PROfessional is not the opposite of the CONfessional, so PeterZ has given us a lead to a contrast were "PRO" is not the opposite of "CON".

Q.E.D.
