Proclaiming the Kingship of Christ

By the providential will of Pope Pius XI, this last Sunday of October is dedicated to the Universal Kingship of Our Lord. The encyclical Quas Primas, promulgated on December 11, 1925, illustrates this doctrine and the reasons why, by virtue of the hypostatic union – that is, the union of divinity and humanity in the person of Jesus Christ – we must recognize Our Lord and Sovereign in the Word of God Incarnate.

Last Sunday’s Gospel – the 22nd after Pentecost – has in some way prepared for today’s feast, inviting us to contemplate the Kingship of Christ also in the precept: “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” (Mt 22:21). Recognizing Our Lord as the sovereign both of individuals and of societies is in fact already contained in these simple words: “Give to God what is God’s.”

Behind this centuries-old conspiracy against Christ, which began well before we can imagine, we know there is the subversive work of the Synagogue of Satan, of the Masonic anti-church devoted to the establishment of the kingdom of the Antichrist. Protestantism, the Rosicrucians, the Bavarian Illuminati, Freemasonry, and all the sects that have conspired since the 16th century against Catholic Europe are expressions of this all-out war against Christ and His Church.

The popes who reigned between the 18th and 19th centuries condemned with apostolic severity the revolutionary principles in the name of which the monarchies of the Catholic nations were overthrown. These popes saw clearly what immense ruins would follow their spread throughout the world, and warned the Christian people against accepting any compromise with the secular, liberal, materialist mentality that these errors conveyed.

Satan knows that Jesus Christ is King.

What the pontiffs could not foresee – it was so unheard of and scandalous even to be able to hypothesize it, at that time – was that this rebellion against Christ the Lord would not only find support among subsequent popes, with all the instances of Modernism ferried into the bosom of the Catholic Church with Vatican II, but that this rebellion would extend to the whole ecclesial body, to the point of apostasy from the faith and the emancipation of the vicarious authority of the Roman pontiff from that possessed exclusively and fully by the Divine Head of the Mystical Body, King and Priest.

The post-conciliar popes, architects of innovations in the theorization and exercise of the papacy, have come to adapt and reinterpret the papacy in a synodal (ad intra) and ecumenical (ad extra) key, thus demonstrating their willingness to change what Our Lord established in founding His Church.

Satan knows that Jesus Christ is King. His sole purpose is to induce us to rebel against our sovereign, to have Him as an enemy, to deny our due and necessary submission to Him, our redeemer and Lord, in order to subjugate ourselves to the hateful slavery of the Evil One. In short, what Satan wants is to make us deny Christ the King and High Priest and instead acclaim the Antichrist as Our Lord’s blasphemous counterfeit. That is why this fury exists on the part of Satan and his servants in wanting to deny Christ His sovereign rights over the nations and also over the Church.

The first creature to listen to the voice of Our Lord was Mary Most Holy, Regina Crucis, the mystical Throne of the divine King. Let us remember this well: wherever Christ reigns, His August Mother must also reign; because it is the will of the Son that she be the one who in her unblemished virginity humbles the impure spirit, and who in her humility crushes the proud head of the serpent.

May she be the Lady and Queen of every Christian and in particular of every priestly soul, so that the Mediatrix of all Graces may intercede before the throne of the Most High for the Holy Church, for all who faithfully profess the Catholic faith, and for the destiny of the world. And so may it be.
