Christ the King of the Universe

Pope Pius XI instituted this Feast of Christ the King* in 1925. Of course, the Pope wasn't inventing anything new; that's not the way Popes operate, or shouldn't. The Pope is the guardian of the deposit of faith but at times in history a Pope has had to, for various reasons, make explicit what has always been believed. Often the best way to do that, is to enter the dogma into the sacred liturgy through a feast day.Christ said Himself that He was a king, and for this He entered the world, when He was being interrogated by Pontius Pilate. So it was not invented by any member of the Church at any time in history.Today's feast calls us to honour our King, give Him our homage, and to be faithful to His rule.As the Cristeros of Mexico shouted when they were fighting against a godless and masonic government, in the same decade of the 1920's VIVA CRISTO REY!* I made an error in the podcast by naming Pope Benedict XV as doing this.
