The Reign of Christ the King – in both public and private life

The Reign of Christ the King

By Michael Davies

In this bold and thought-provoking booklet, noted Catholic writer Michael Davies explores the often-overlooked doctrine of Christ’s kingship and its profound implications for both personal life and society. Drawing from Church teaching and history, Davies emphasizes that all authority comes from God, and that political leaders have a moral duty to conform civil laws to the laws of God.

He critiques the secular principles that emerged from the French Revolution—particularly the idea that authority originates solely from the people—and shows how this error has shaped Western society for over 200 years. With clarity and conviction, he calls Catholics to recognize Christ’s supreme right to reign and to work for His kingship in public and political life.

Accessible, urgent, and deeply relevant, this booklet equips Catholics to confront modern social and political errors while renewing their commitment to Christ the King.
