Ask a good Catholic of our time, one who perhaps still goes to Mass regularly, if he believes in the social kingship of Jesus Christ. If he believes that Jesus Christ is really King of all nations and Lord of the universe. If he believes that He who is the Creator and Redeemer of human nature possesses, as a result, sovereign power over men, both as individuals and as social communities.
The Catholic in question will look at you as one would look at a Martian and, assuming he or she understands your language, will begin to argue that you actually have to reconcile faith with the world, that nothing can be imposed, that there is a need for dialogue, discernment and walking together, that there is religious freedom, that human rights must be taken into account, that there is good in other faiths as well… It has been about a hundred years, not a thousand, since the popes still proclaimed the social kingship of Christ (Pius XI’s encyclical Quas primas, which introduced the solemnity of Christ the King, is from 1925), but of that Church and that teaching we do not retain even a pale memory.
The Revolution penetrated the Church and conquered it from within. The modernist spoilers have achieved the purpose for which they worked so hard. Man has been put in the place of God.
