QUAS PRIMAS—OR CHAOS: Pius XI and the 'Greatest Non-Event' in Church History | E18

-Originally recorded in December 2024-

What happens to a world that refuses to acknowledge Christ as King?

In this episode, we explore the prophetic parallels between the 1925 encyclical 'Quas Primas' by Pope Pius XI and the warnings of Our Lady of Fatima—delivered just eight years earlier. As Communism surged and Christendom fractured, both Fatima and Pius XI called for the same remedy: the public and political enthronement of Jesus Christ as King of all nations.

But after the 1960s, that original vision was quietly redefined. “Christ the King” became a vague spiritual metaphor—no longer a claim to real kingship over laws, leaders, and civilizations.

Nearly a century later, have we heeded the warning—or embraced the chaos?

Watch now and consider whether we are living through the very consequences foretold.
