Christ the King Sunday: Why Church and State Should Never Be Separate

About this sermon

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and divinity, wisdom and strength, honor and glory forever.” In this powerful traditional Catholic homily for the Feast of Christ the King (Old Calendar), we explore the deep theological and historical roots of Christ’s kingship — and why the doctrine of no separation of Church and State has always been central to Catholic teaching. Father explains the ancient and modern controversies around the feast, drawing from Pope St. Pius X, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, and centuries of Catholic thought. From medieval Christendom to modern liberalism and communism, this sermon traces the battle between God’s kingship and secular power. Discover: Why Christ is not only King of our hearts but of all nations. The Church’s teaching on public worship owed to God. How historical examples prove that when the Church doesn’t lead the state, the state leads the Church. Prophecies from saints about the coming restoration of Christendom and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The hope for renewal amid modern decline. 📖 “If the Church does not lead the State, the State will lead the Church.” 🙏 Honor Christ the King. Pray for the triumph of His Kingdom on earth and the reign of His Sacred Heart through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – “Worthy is the Lamb…” – Opening prayer 0:12 – The Feast of Christ the King (Old Calendar) 0:26 – Debate #1: When should the feast fall? 0:37 – Debate #2: Should Church and State be separate? 1:22 – Pope St. Pius X condemns separation of Church and State 2:25 – Public worship owed to Christ the King 3:00 – Restoring all things in Christ 3:50 – Why modern Catholics struggle with this teaching 4:33 – “If the Church does not lead the State…” 5:25 – Four modern examples proving the point 7:00 – Communism and atheism as state religions 8:01 – Bishop Athanasius Schneider on Christ the King 9:00 – The American misunderstanding of “separation of Church and State” 10:22 – Liberty without Christ leads to totalitarianism 11:15 – Moral law and the will to power 12:00 – Why America’s freedom is at risk 13:25 – Hope for a Catholic restoration 14:06 – The Seven Ages of the Church 15:10 – The Great Monarch and the Holy Pope 16:20 – Blessed Catherine Emmerich’s prophecy 17:40 – The Church will rise again, even if one Catholic remains 18:47 – Preparing for Christ’s Second Coming 19:02 – Christ the King of all nations 19:20 – Mary, Queen and Mother of the Church 19:26 – Closing prayer and blessing For more please visit http://padreperegrino.org/category/podcasts/talks/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #ChristTheKing #TraditionalCatholic #LatinMass #CatholicHomily #FeastOfChristTheKing #CatholicProphecy #ChurchAndState #PopePiusX #AthanasiusSchneider #TriumphOfMary #CatholicFaith #CatholicTeaching #CatholicHistory #Christendom #RestoreAllThingsInChrist #TraditionalCatholicism #CatholicSermon #CatholicChurch #KingdomOfChrist #JesusIsKing 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
