We are seeing some impressive examples of the reawakening of Christian civilization in Eastern Europe, indicative of the re-traditionalization that’s going on all over the world in response to the virulently anti-cultural, anti-traditional dynamics of secular globalization…
Recently, there have been some impressive examples of the reawakening of Christian civilization in Eastern Europe.
Poland
First, let’s look at what happened recently in Poland. In a ceremony at the Church of Divine Mercy in Krakow last November 19th, the Catholic Bishops of Poland, in the presence of President Andreiz Duda and many Catholic pilgrims, officially recognized Jesus Christ as the King of Poland and called upon Him to rule over their nation, its people and their political leaders.
At Mass, they prayed “Immortal King of Ages Lord Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, bowing our heads before You, King of the Universe, we acknowledge Thy dominion over Poland, those living in our homeland and throughout the world. Wishing to worship the majesty of Thy power and glory, with great faith and love, we cry out: Rule us, Christ!”
This ceremony was repeated at many Polish cathedrals and parishes on the following Sunday, which was the feast of Christ the King on the Catholic liturgical calendar. The liturgical prayers dedicating the nation to Jesus Christ involved litanies such as: “In our hearts, Rule us, Christ! In our families, Rule us, Christ!… In our schools and universities, Rule us, Christ!… Through the Polish nation, rule us, Christ!” The priest went on to pray: “We pledge to defend Your holy worship and preach Thy royal glory,” and the people responded: “Christ our King, we promise!” Again: “We pledge to do Your will and protect the integrity of our consciences, Christ our King, we promise...

>In Georgia, there was a relatively recent backlash against the pro-Western, pro-EU government that sought to take Eastern Orthodox curriculum out of the public schools, a development that galvanized Orthodox groups such as the Orthodox Parents’ Union. When the elections of 2012 came along, a far more traditionalist government was elected that reinstituted Eastern Orthodox education into the public schools, where icons and Orthodox crosses are displayed throughout the school buildings. And this has been accompanied by the Georgian Orthodox Church’s campaign to revitalize the family, with significant results: Georgia has gone from having one of the lowest birthrates in Eastern Europe to having one of the highest.
Wonderful.
I think Trump wants to see a similar resurgence in the US.
King of the Universe
I’ve called Jesus that only to be called not a real Christian by those who think the earth is flat and there is no universe.
This is why we must NEVER support the leftist, cultural marxist, atheists and statists who are pushing further EU integration.

Jesus is the UNI-VERSE, the one WORD.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John1:1
Through him all things were made. John 1:3. If that’s not King, what is?
The KEY word here is, Catholic “traditionalism”.
The Western version of the Catholic Church is in ashes, since Vatican II.
Now, barely Catholic, the Church in the West is unrecognizable from the Catholic Church through the centuries and in even the 1950’s. We have no vocations because it is broadly milk and no meat.
This is why Rome is displacing traditional Catholics. This is where the growth is. It is not in the new Mass, called Novus Ordo.
Satan knows where the real Mass is. So does Poland.
I’m delighted to hear this. Let’s get some more countries to wake up.
