After Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus had catalogued modem errors against the order of society demanded by the infinite dignity of the Life of Sanctifying Grace, restored through the foundation of the Mystical Body on Calvary, Popes Leo XIII, Pius X, Benedict XV, Pius XI and Pius XII have set forth in their Encyclicals thepositive programme for order enjoined upon us by Christ Our Head, Priest and King. In this series of books I am endeavouring to make known that positive programme to as many as possible, so that they may have a thorough knowledge of the order of the world they should stand for as members of Christ. The series is placed under the patronage of St. Joan of Arc. At the beatification of that lovely saint in 1908, Blessed Pius X sadly reminded members of Christ that : “ All the strength of Satan’s reign is due to the easy-going weakness of Catholics.” As I was not able to bring out this book when it was originally written, it has been laid aside for years. In the meantime, the need for setting forth the full doctrine of the Kingship of Christ has been forcibly brought home to me by the confusion created in minds owing to the use of the term “ Anti-Semitism.” The Hitlerite naturalistic or anti-supernatural régime in Germany gave to the world the odious spectacle of a display of Anti- Semitism, that is, of hatred of the Jewish Nation. Yet all the propaganda about that display of Anti-Semitism should not have made Catholics forget the existence of age-long Jewish Naturalism or Anti-Supematuralism. Forgetfulness of the disorder of Jewish Naturalistic opposition to Christ the King 1 Pius XI, Encyclical Letter,Quas Primas, On the Kingship of Christ, 5 The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation is keeping Catholics blind to the danger that is arising from the clever extension of the term “ Anti-Semitism/* with all its war-connotation in the minds of the unthinking, to include any form of opposition to the Jewish Nation’s naturalistic aims. For the leaders of the Jewish Nation, to stand for the rights of Christ the King is logically to be “ anti-Semitic/* In March, 1917, Pope Benedict X V wrote to the Archbishop of Tours : " In the midst of the present upheavals, it is important to repeat to men that by her divine institution the Catholic Church is the only ark of salvation for the human race . Accordingly, it is more seasonable than ever to tea c h ................ that the truth which liberates, not only individuals, but societies, is supernatural truth in all its fulness and in all its purity, with out attenuation, diminution or compromise : in a word, exactly as Our Lord Jesus Christ delivered it to the world/’ 1 These sublime words of the Vicar of Christ have nerved me to do all in my power to set forth the opposition of every form of Natural ism, including Jewish Naturalism, to the supernatural Reign of Christ the King. In addition, for over twenty years I have been offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass every year, on the Feasts of the Resurrection, Corpus Christi, SS. Peter and Paul and the Assumption of Our Blessed Mother, for the acceptance by the Jewish Nation of the Divine Plan for order. Thus I have been striving to follow the example of our Divine Master. Blessed Pius X insists that " though Jesus was kind to those who had gone astray, and to sinners, He did not respect their erroneous convictions, however sincere they appeared to be.”a The need of combining firmness in the proclamation of the in tegral truth with loving charity towards those in error is in sisted on, even more emphatically, by Pope Pius X I : " Com prehending and merciful charity towards the erring," he writes, " and even towards the contemptuous, does not mean and can not mean that you renounce in any way the proclaiming of, the insisting on, and the courageous defence of the truth and its free and unhindered application to the realities about you.
