Christ the King vs. The City of Man: Blessed Miguel Pro, St. Augustine & Rebuilding Christendom

About this sermon

Part 4 of the 2014 Lenten retreat In this hard-hitting sermon, we journey from St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 15) to the witness of Blessed Miguel Agustín Pro—Jesuit priest and martyr who cried “¡Viva Cristo Rey!”—and into St. Augustine’s timeless contrast between the City of God and the city of man. You’ll hear bold reflections on the Kingship of Christ, the rise of secularism, lessons from Church history (St. Peter’s bones beneath the Vatican, Pope Leo XIII, Quas Primas, the Nicene Creed), and a call to rebuild Christian culture from our hearts and homes outward. The talk also references Fr. Denis Fahey’s writings and the Catholic statesman Gabriel García Moreno’s consecration of Ecuador to the Sacred Heart. 🙏 If this blessed you, please like, subscribe, and share to spread devotion to Christ the King. 📖 Scripture & Themes: 1 Corinthians 15: The final triumph of Christ Blessed Miguel Pro: Courage under persecution St. Augustine: City of God vs. city of man Quas Primas (1925) & the Social Kingship of Christ Rebuilding Christian culture: home enthronement of the Sacred Heart, prayer, penance, and public witness Timestamps 00:00 Opening & 1 Corinthians 15 reading 01:03 Early life of Blessed Miguel Pro 02:59 Persecution in Mexico; priestly disguises 04:04 Arrest, forgiveness, and martyrdom — “¡Viva Cristo Rey!” 05:30 St. Augustine: City of God vs. city of man 07:06 Modern revolution & secular “city” (references to Alinsky) 09:00 Toppling Christendom & cultural consequences 10:04 White House anecdote & Freemasonry discussion 12:06 Goals opposed to Christ’s Kingship (speaker’s critique) 15:42 French Revolution quote & state as “god” (speaker’s claim) 16:44 Rome pilgrimage; St. Peter’s bones & the Rock 18:46 Pope Leo XIII on God and civil society 19:20 God’s plan: harmony of Church & State 21:03 Woodstock as a cultural parable 25:04 “Camel” analogy & loss of Christian reserves 26:05 King Josiah: rediscovering the Law 28:05 The modern state, conscience, and law 29:15 Quas Primas & the Kingship of Christ 31:00 Nicene Creed: Christ true God of true God 31:33 Mandate to evangelize the nations 32:19 Church Militant: proclaiming Christ publicly 33:15 Fr.
