As St. Teresa of Avila addressed Him: “His Majesty”

That’s why every liturgical year we have the Feast of Christ the King.

Jesus made many references to his “Kingdom”

Here are just a few:

Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand
My Kingdom is not of this world
Whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it
The Kingdom of heaven is like leaven....
I will give you the keys of the Kingdom...
Unless a man be born again...he cannot enter the Kingdom..
Blessed are the poor of spirit for theirs is the Kingdom...
Blessed are those who suffer persecution....for theirs is the Kingdom...

You mean that we Christians do. Some of our brethren from afar would be more at home having the Feast of Paul the Emperor. You saw the posts today (and over the last few years). Paul trumps Jesus; the Gospels are only for the Jews, as were the 12. Paul is the only Messiah who matters, etc. etc.

Paul wrote last, so his stuff beats the rest, right? I've got news for you BB. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Jude wrote after Paul was martyred. Therefore I will tell you that by your own words, you MUST not read Paul as the latest revelation. You must read John, because John finished up more than 3 decades after Paul died. First Thessalonians or Galatians were the first books of Paul, so they HAVE to go. Second Peter is usually believed to have been written last, so it is to Peter that we must look. Paul is irrelevant according to your logic, even though you look to him as Messiah.

Now, let us all celebrate the victory of Catholic belief over Protestant silliness, right?
