EWTN’s “Christ the King” Series: Modernist Subversion of Papal Monarchy
The Catholic News Agency portal (November 23, 2025) reports on EWTN’s four-part docuseries commemorating the centenary of Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas, featuring commentary from Jesuit and Dominican religious. The production, filmed across Roman basilicas and global monuments to Christ’s kingship, claims to explore “some of the core aspects of the kingship of Christ” through Scripture and devotional history. The premiere at the Vatican Film Archive allegedly drew diplomats and journalists, with producer Aidan Gallagher asserting the series aims to have Christ “reign in all hearts” for world peace. This spectacle exemplifies how the conciliar sect instrumentalizes orthodox doctrine to advance revolutionary agendas.
Theological Treason in Jesuitical Packaging
The series’ fatal flaw lies in its architects: Jesuits McGuckian and Lewis represent an order that ceased Catholic existence with Arrupe’s 1965 embrace of Marxist liberation theology. Pius XII condemned their trajectory: “The Society of Jesus has transformed from the Church’s bulwark into revolutionary vanguard” (Secret Consistory, 1957). That EWTN – long compromised by collaboration with conciliar structures – employs these destroyers to interpret Christ’s kingship parallels Satan quoting Scripture.
Gallagher’s statement that the docuseries seeks “peace, holiness, and the betterment of human existence” exposes its naturalistic core. Contrast this with Pius XI’s uncompromising definition: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (Quas Primas, §19). The modernist reduction transforms Christ’s dominion into therapeutic humanism, void of judgment against rebellious nations.
The Social Kingship Annihilated
Nowhere does the promotional material acknowledge the encyclical’s central thesis: Christ’s royalty extends to civil governance. Pius XI explicitly condemned the “plague of our age” – secular states rejecting divine authority (Quas Primas §24-25). The documentary’s focus on personal devotion while ignoring Christ’s rights over legislatures, courts, and constitutions constitutes doctrinal sabotage.
This aligns with Vatican II’s apostate declaration that “the state and the Church are autonomous and independent of each other in their own fields” (Dignitatis Humanae, §3). The docuseries thereby perpetuates the conciliar revolution against the Syllabus of Errors which condemned the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Pius IX, Proposition 55).
Roman Venue as Act of Profanation
The Vatican premiere epitomizes the abomination of desolation: agents of the counterfeit church occupying Peter’s chair while desecrating his legacy. Pius X’s warning resonates: “The enemies of the Church disguise themselves as friends to more effectively strike the Church” (Lamentabili, Introduction). That diplomats applauded this spectacle confirms its revolutionary function – not to convert nations, but to consecrate the UN’s multi-religious humanism.
Omissions Revealing Apostasy
The article’s silence on key doctrines exposes its bankruptcy:
- No mention of Mary’s Queenship: Pius XII’s Ad Caeli Reginam (1954) established Mary’s mediation of Christ’s kingship – omitted because the conciliar sect denies her co-redemptive role.
- Evasion of Antichrist’s reign: Leo XIII’s vision confirms Satan’s occupancy of the Vatican, making EWTN’s “Vatican-premiered” series spiritually perilous.
- Sacred Heart devotion neutered: The documentary’s titular focus on the Sacred Heart Basilica ignores Pius XI’s linkage: “To the Sacred Heart ‘we must strive to bring back all mankind'” (Miserentissimus Redemptor, §4).
Cinematic Sorcery in Service of Revolution
The series’ global cinematography – spanning Roman basilicas to modernist “Christ the King” centers – employs aesthetic sentimentalism to mask doctrinal corruption. This follows the modernist playbook condemned by St. Pius X: “They use film and art to foment that most pernicious doctrine which makes of the liturgy a vehicle for archeological exhibitionism” (Letter on the Solesmes Congress, 1911). The spectacle’s emotional manipulation replaces catechism, conditioning viewers to accept the conciliar sect’s false peace.
Conclusion: The True King Versus Counterfeit Church
As the usurper Bergoglio prepares to desecrate Christ’s kingship with his interreligious “Pact of the Catacombs II,” this EWTN production constitutes psychological warfare against Catholic restoration. Let true faithful recall Pius XI’s imperative: “Nations will be happy when both individuals and governments obey Christ’s laws” (Quas Primas, §21). Until Rome’s occupiers publicly abjure Vatican II and submit to the Social Reign, all their pageantry remains satirical mockery of the Rex Regum.
