The League of the Kingship of Christ

On the same day that Integrity & Action supporters were protesting outside Marie
Stopes House, in central London on 16th October, some of our male activists were
engaged in a weekend of important doctrinal lectures in Bristol, organised by
the Catholic mens' study group The League of the Kingship of Christ.

The League of the Kingship of Christ was originally founded in Dublin in 1926,
the same year that Pope Pius XI issued his famous encyclical, Quas primas, on
the Kingship of Christ. The League was founded by Rev. Fr. Edward Cahill, S.J.,
and usually referred to by its Irish name of An Ríoghacht. It's purpose was to
educate Catholics in regard to the social doctrine of the Church and to
implement that doctrine in practical ways for the benefit of Irish society;
bringing her fully back under the Kingship of Christ.

The mantle of An Ríoghacht was taken-up in later decades by Maria Duce,
founded by Rev. Fr. Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp, and The League of the Kingship of
Christ resurrected once more in recent times by The Society of Saint Pius X,
itself founded by Fr. Fahey's former Superior General in the Holy Ghost Fathers,
Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

The purpose of The League of the Kingship of Christ is threefold:

1)   Prayer

2)   Study

3)   Action

Several Catholic Action groups have already arisen from the important social and
moral doctrinal study undertaken by The League of the Kingship of Christ.

Study is provided hand-in-hand with a solid spiritual formation offered by its
chaplains, which includes the undertaking of regular Ignatian Retreats.

So it was that thirteen Integrity & Action supporters spent an intellectually
invigorating and thoroughly enjoyable weekend in the company of Bishop Richard
Williamson, SSPX.

The lecture agenda was as follows:

1) St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae

2) How an Article of the Summa Works

3) St. Thomas' Five Ways to Prove the Existence of God

4) God's Movement of Creatures

5) St. Thomas' Treatise on Law

6) Nature and Definition of Law

7) St. Thomas: Various Kinds of Law

8) St. Thomas: Eternal Law

9) St. Thomas on Natural Law

10) The Old Moral Law and The Decalogue

Integrity & Action consider it of utmost importance that all
traditionally-minded Catholics in this country consider supporting and joining
the League.

Across our land Christian morality, and even Natural Law itself, is being
flouted more and more grievously each year. Catholics are daily
faced with a society that is, in many respects, founded upon a rejection of
Christ. It is incumbent upon Catholics to equip ourselves for the good fight, to
understand better the Faith, particularly in those areas where today it is
most challenged; and above all, to sanctify ourselves.

The League of the Kingship of Christ is an organisation for men which aims to
propagate amongst them a better knowledge of Catholic social principles; to
strive for the fullest recognition of those principles in public life; and to
promote an effective Catholic Action. Most importantly, however, it aims, as a
prerequisite, to encourage its members to deepen their spiritual lives for
without holiness, without the presence of the charity of God in members’ souls,
all of the League’s study and the works resulting from them will prove futile.

The League of the Kingship of Christ also produce a journal, Christus Rex, that
is available upon request and emailed in PDF format.
