500 years of Protestant Revolution: CHRIST THE KING is the Anti-Luther

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.

Thank-you and God Bless.
The extreme left want to oppress us, the Islamofacists want to kill us.

Nice attempt at deflection but it doesn’t address the anti-Prot bigotry displayed in the RF regularly.

A completely uncalled for insult.
I hope that you think deeply and reflect on that comment and the modification behind it

Too many militants on both sides on the board. Agreed.
I'm hoping Google has a Luther theme on Oct 31. A 500 year anniversary is nothing to sneeze at, no matter which side of the fence you happen to be on.

“As a counter-feast of the ‘Reformation Sunday’ Protestants celebrate on the last Sunday in October, Pius XI proposed Our Lord, King.”
I never heard of “Reformation Sunday” or any official Protestant feast until reading this article just now.
That being said, thank God for the Reformation that lead to the invisible church becoming more acquainted with the Bible, and the Gospel of Christ being preached more as a result.
To me, as a non-Lutheran, Martin Luther’s flaws seem to be used as a straw man to denounce the Reformation movement. But this movement was of God and not of man. And this is why it could not be stopped.
And this great nation is a fruit of God’s blessing of the Reformation.

The one good thing is that the Bible reading is accepted by Catholics as well.

My post to you was my first on this thread. I wasn’t fighting with you, just asking you a question, which you haven’t answered.

A question which has nothing to do with thread theme.

A lot of people lost their lives after the Reformation at the hands of the Catholic Church.

Martin Luther steered the Catholic Church out of the Dark Ages by putting God's words into the Catholic's own language so they could read God's word for themselves and realize how distorted and corrupt the Catholic Church was...
Obviously many Catholics had no interest in what God told them, they chose that religion to guide them...Same is true today...
You won't find God in a religion or a Church...He can only be found in the scriptures...

Another flame bait thread I see.

I know, right?!
What, did his fiancee leave him at the altar and run off with a Protestant or something?

And the question was snarky and condescending.
You can’t seem to be nice even to other Catholics.
Are any other Catholics even good enough for you? Cause I sure haven’t seen any evidence of that. I can’t recall one you are on good terms with.
