The Solemnity of Christ the King, as celebrated by the Vatican in Exile, proclaims the eternal and universal Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ over all nations, peoples, and hearts. Established to reaffirm that true authority and peace come only through submission to the Divine Sovereign, this feast stands as a powerful rebuke to the secularism and modernism that have sought to dethrone Christ from public life. The Vatican in Exile holds that Christ reigns not merely in heaven, but visibly through His true Church, which continues His teaching and authority on earth under the leadership of Pope Michael II and the faithful bishops united to him. In this solemnity, the Church renews her pledge of loyalty to Christ the King—adoring Him in the Eucharist, obeying His commandments, and laboring for the restoration of His Kingdom in every soul and society—echoing the ancient cry: Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat!
