500 years of Protestant Revolution: CHRIST THE KING is the Anti-Luther
Rorate Caeli ^ | October 29, 2017 | New Catholic

Posted on 10/29/2017 12:05:02 PM PDT by ebb tide

Why did Pope Pius XI, when he established the Feast of the Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ with his encyclical Quas Primas un 1925, not choose for it the last Sunday of the liturgical year (as Paul VI did later for his new mass), but rather the Last Sunday in October?


The short answer is simple: Christ the King is the Anti-Luther. The Lord is not the king of this or that German princedom, changing doctrines according to the whim of the moment. He's the King of the Universe, unchanging and unchangeable. As a counter-feast of the "Reformation Sunday" Protestants celebrate on the last Sunday in October, Pius XI proposed Our Lord, King.

It’s Sunday. Can we lay off of the anti-protestant and anti-catholic propaganda for a while.

You do know that the muslims want to slit both of our throats, equally, right?

: Christ the King is the Anti-Luther.


Wouldn’t that make Luther the Anti-Christ?

Thank God that Christ the King used an ordinary priest, Blessed Luther, to recover the Gospel of Grace by which men gain eternal life!

500 years flies by so fast!

A hard slap at fellow Christians. Islamists must love this sort of thing. Divide and conquer.

Good grief, the Catho-nutters rant about Martin Luther worse than any end-times fire and brimstone street preacher ever did about Rome being the Whore of Babylon.

Well if the Church wasnt so totally corrupt and venal during the middle ages then I guess Luther and the other protestors would not have anything to protest about and Protestantism would not have developed. Its a little late for the Catholic church to cry about the Proestants. They brought it about themselves and they have no one to blame but themselves. Perhaps if they spent more energy getting rid of corrupt crooks associated with the church as well as pedophile priests they would have a leg to stand on.

Here, some words from Jesus for you to consider.

You are obligated to pray for Luther and all others who are not Catholic you know, since you clearly see them as your enemies.

Matthew 5:21-26 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.

Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

There are those who believe that the Barley harvest in Israel was not ready for Month 1 to start at sunset on March 10, 2016, so that we are currently in Month 7, instead of Month 8. That means that Yom Kippur starts at sunset on October 30, 2017 and ends at sunset on October 31, 2017 on the exact 500 year anniversary of Martin Luther’s nailing of the 95 theses to the door at the church in Wittenberg.

Also, if one takes the date of the Revelation 12:1-2 sign to be sunrise on September 24, 2017, when the Moon was in Libra, and really a Virgo’s feet, then the date of the 500 year anniversary is on the 40th day, inclusive, from the great sign.

It is past time to put aside this petty bickering about genealogies (1 Timothy 1:4) and accept that Abba Father YHWH it totally sovereign over the affairs of this world, and whatever Martin Luther did was part of His, YHWH’s, Salvation Plan.

There is a equal letter skip Torah code, completely contained in the Book of Deuteronomy, that describes the 2016 Presidential election in the USA, including Seth Rich’s Murder. So over 3500 years ago, Hillary is Corrupt, Hillary Steals, D Trump Wins, Email Interview, etc. were locked in parchment and ink. So it is past time for each of us to read our Bible and pray, because, Jesus is coming, and He is coming soon.

I sang in the choir at a Baptist church this morning, and I’ll be singing in the congregation at a Catholic church this evening.

Both of you (sides) are beautiful and I love you both.

Now don’t make me pull this universe over! :)

Nice straw man you got there.

The Reformation wasn't about German princedoms or whimsical changes to doctrine. It was about correcting doctrinal errors in the RC church by pointing it back to the "unchanging and unchangeable" Word. Thank God for Martin Luther and his conviction and courage to stand up to the corruption that infested the church all the way up to the Pope.

Pius XI was the one who made a deal with Mussolini isn’t he? The propaganda from The Cult of Rome continues...

I like that the feast of Christ the King is on the last Sunday of the Church year. That is where it belongs.

No. Too many militants on both sides on the board.

What a shame.
