The Social Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ

       The Social Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ
 
"One day in Mexico, the journalists asked me: What do you think of the progress of society? How should society evolve in order to bring about greater justice and a more equitable distribution of goods? I answered: There are not thirty-six viable systems, there is only one: the reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ. As long as this reign is not re-established, as long as the laws of Our Lord are not observed, as long as grace does not vivify souls, it will be utterly futile to seek to obtain justice, peace and normal social life. Grace alone regenerates souls and begets true virtue; grace alone makes of men sons of God, and along with charity, infuses the social virtues without which envy alone develops.

"If, on the contrary, souls are transformed in Christ, those who exercise authority in the State and the rich owners of goods and lands will be more just. Animated by the virtue of justice, they will understand that they have duties towards their subordinates. And the latter will understand that they must work and accept their condition with resignation, for we are not on earth uniquely to make a fortune. They will understand that supernatural life is worth much more than all the riches of earth." - Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, Against the Heresies, pp. 182-83

"When governments and nations follow in all their activities, whether they be national or international, the dictates of conscience grounded in the teachings, precepts, and example of Jesus Christ, and which are binding on each and every individual, then only can we have faith in one another's word and trust in the peaceful solution of the difficulties and controversies which may grow out of differences in point of view or from clash of interests." - Pope Pius XI, Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio

"There will be no peace on earth except in the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ. The nations are in conflict-every day we have page after page of the newspapers about it, we have it on radio and television; and now with the change of prime minister: What are we going to do to improve the economy? What are we going to do to help the currency? What are we going to do so that manufacturing prospers, etc. All the newspapers in the world are full of such questions. Well, even from an economic standpoint, our Lord Jesus Christ must reign, because the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ is the reign of the principles of love and of the commandments of God, which establish equilibrium in society, and which make justice and peace reign. It is only with order, justice, and peace in society that the economy can thrive." - Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre


"Force ought always to be consecrated to the service of justice and be based upon it, otherwise, however powerful nations may be, they will be overthrown quickly like the statue of Nebuchadnezzar. On account of this, empires fall flat to the ground because force is separated from justice. Then there shall be peace on earth when justice joined to force makes truth triumph, and justice is tempered with mercy. However this can only be attained with the social reign of Jesus Christ, his precepts reigning in the legislation of states and the spirit of the Catholic religion vivifying their codes. Only with Jesus Christ are man and society perfec­ted. He is the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega of true civilization. In quo habemus redemptionem per sanguinem ejus, remissionem peccatorum secundum divitias gratiae ejus, Quae superabundavit in nobis in omni sapientia et prudentia: Ut notum faceret nobis sacramentum voluntatis suae, secundum beneplacitum ejus, quod proposuit in eo, In dispensatione plenitudinis temporum, instaurare omnia in Christo, quae in caelis et quae in terra sunt, in ipso." Ephesians 1:7-10. (In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace, Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence, That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him, In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.) - Fr. Pablo Pastells, 1893

In striving to better the condition of the laboring classes, what Great Truth must ever be remembered?
»» The Great Truth is that "the things of this earth cannot be understood or valued rightly without taking into consideration the life to come, the life that will last forever. Exclude the idea of futurity, and the very notion of what is good and right would perish; nay, the whole system of the universe would become a dark and unfathomable mystery." - Pope Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum, 18

"We have but too much evidence of the value and result of a morality divorced from divine faith. How is it that, in spite of all the zeal for the welfare of the masses, nations are in such straits and even distress, and that the evil is daily on the increase? We are told that society is quite able to help itself; that it can flourish without the assistance of Christianity, and attain its end by its own unaided efforts. Public administrators prefer a purely secular system of government. All traces of the religion of our forefathers are daily disappearing from political life and administration. What blindness! Once the idea of the authority of God as the Judge of right and wrong is forgotten, law must necessarily lose its primary authority and justice must perish: and these are the two most powerful and most necessary bonds of society." - Pope Leo XIII, "Tametsi Futura Prospicientibus"

The Church without the State is a soul without a body. The State without the Church is a body without a soul.” (Leo XIII, Libertas)
