Kingship of Christ

Cathedra, Kingship and Judgment

DVRodriguez2026-02-09T22:37:21-05:00

The feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica celebrates the cathedral church of the whole Catholic world. It is from his cathedra, that a bishop teaches the Catholic Faith and exercises his apostolic authority. Bishops are meant to serve as the instruments of Christ. Their failure to faithfully transmit His teachings is a great tragedy of our times. This feast also reminds us that we will all stand in judgment before Christ the King. Although we are not political or ecclesial rulers, and so our influence in the public sphere is limited, we must nevertheless honor Christ as King in [...]

First Consequence of Christ’s Kingship

DVRodriguez2026-01-30T14:45:29-05:00

Christ is king of all. This does not change. His words resound until the end of the ages. He commands us to teach and baptize all nations. If we neglect –worse, betray– this command, how can we possibly believe He is King? Yet even those ruling His Church reject and scorn His kingship. As an example, consider the Vatican’s gathering of world religions on October 28, 2025. Few Catholics even realize how diabolical was the message delivered by Leo XIV. Take seriously how the Catholic Faith has been lost, even in the Church. We ned to pray and make a much [...]

Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

DVR Fatima2025-10-27T19:07:31-04:00

Prayer prescribed by Pius XI for the Feast of Christ the King.[Read the encyclical Quas Primas, 1925] Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before Thy cross. We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be; but to be more surely united to Thee, behold, each one of us this day freely consecrates himself to Thy most Sacred Heart. Many, indeed, have never known Thee; many, too, despising Thy precepts have rejected Thee. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart. Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken Thee, but also [...]

Glorious is God in His Saints

Christ the King has redeemed and transformed all time. Living in accordance with the liturgical year is a basic and daily way by which we truly live as Christ's subjects. Yet the vast majority of Catholics ignore His being Lord of all time. The recent feasts emphasize the importance of the saints. Make a special effort to draw closer to them. The examples of St. Rita of Casia (+1457), saint of the impossible, and St. Humility (+1310), illustrate how the saints made Christ sovereign over mind, will, body, time, and life. By their intercession may we too enthrone Christ over our [...]

The Saints Believe Christ is King

DVRodriguez2024-11-04T08:46:50-05:00

The saints truly believe – and live! – that Christ is King. We see this in their heartfelt prayer, which we should strive to adopt as own. Do not fall prey to the founding principles of modern democracies which reject, or set aside, Christ's Kingship. Catholics should not live in accordance with these errors, even if everyone else around us does. While this is not an issue we can force, we can be clear regarding the truth and plant the seeds of truth in others. You may not be able to change the trajectory of the nation (that may require a [...]

Many Reject Christ’s Kingship

DVRodriguez2024-10-21T23:24:45-04:00

Jesus Christ is King. This is a great dogma of our faith. All things are created by Him and for Him. The State has an obligation towards Him and man's laws must be subject to His Law. The only way to have peace is for all nations to submit to Christ the King. Yet many so called Christians – even in the Church – reject His kingship. Our presidential candidates do not confess Christ's Kingship. Bishops are not defending this truth. Francis' recent statements are blasphemous and heretical against this doctrine. As small individuals we may not be able to change [...]

Christ the King, Mary the Queen

Christ is Lord of All. This truth is upheld by the reaching on the social and universal Kingship of Christ. Few Catholics proclaim this truth today, yet we must accept it to be saved for it is an infallible dogma. We also celebrate several feasts of Our Lady in these days. October 11 is her Divine Maternity. This is the principal mystery of her life from which flow all her privileges. On October 12 we celebrate her first apparition to St. James (a type of her miraculous pillar is found in Exodus). Our Lady wrought the great Miracle of the Sun [...]

The Great Thought

DVRodriguez2023-12-08T16:58:46-05:00

For Christ to truly be King, He must reign in men's minds. This means man assents – with perfect submission and firm belief – to the doctrines taught by Christ and His Church. How terrible that many occupying high places in the Church are instead seeking to undermine His teachings. We instead must remain steadfast and faithful to the Great Truth. As an example, consider the Church's teachings on the Four Last Things. Review a 'Short Catechism on Eternity.' Heed the example of St. Anthony Mary Claret. And in all thy works, remember thy last end, and thou shall never sin [...]

Jesus Christ is God. Jesus Christ is Lord. Jesus Christ is King. We were born to profess this Faith. A major problem is how many claim to know and feel Jesus, but it is not about believing in Jesus "in our own way" but according to His way. Everything must be subject to Him: governments, schools, media, entertainment, sciences, arts, families, marriages, and each individual. Consider these examples of how He must reign in every person's mind, will, heart and body. [Father José María Robles was killed for Christ on June 26, 1927. He helped build a huge statue of Christ [...]
