But Is Christ Still King?

[centurionguard]

Perhaps some are not particular to The Remnant magazine or Christopher A Ferrara's views on this new encyclical. However; I think he has many good points that can easily be dismissed. Read: http://www.remnantnewspaper.com/Arch...n_veritate.htm

But, like Paul VI, Benedict XVI is not “a logical integral humanist,” even if Caritas employs integral humanist lingo throughout. One need only read the Pope’s closing exhortation to understand this:

Christians long for the entire human family to call upon God as “Our Father!” In union with the only-begotten Son, may all people learn to pray to the Father and to ask him, in the words that Jesus himself taught us, for the grace to glorify him by living according to his will…. May the Virgin Mary—proclaimed Mater Ecclesiae by Paul VI and honoured by Christians as Speculum Iustitiae and Regina Pacis—protect us and obtain for us, through her heavenly intercession, the strength, hope and joy necessary to continue to dedicate ourselves with generosity to the task of bringing about the “development of the whole man and of all men.”

Indeed the doctrine of the Social Kingship of Christ seems to be lacking in this encyclical; however, I have only read several excerpts from it.
