Summary: Sermon titled "The Vicar of Christ the King: True Devotion to the Pope" given on Sunday October 27, 2013. Size: 9.1 MB; duration: 26:23. We are passing through a difficult moment in the Church Militant's pilgrimage through time. The voices of the King's ambassadors and vicars have not harmonized with that of their most sovereign Lord and King. As a result the trumpet is not sounding clearly... leading the faithful to stop fighting the world, the flesh and the devil and fight each other instead. At such times the Church Militant becomes the Church Suffering! It is an awesome task to be a Prelate of the Church... an ambassador or Vicar of the King. What they say can rally the soldiers of Christ and lead to great victories. Similarly, if what they say is not in harmony with the King's voice, they can also initiate a painful Passion for the Church. The Church Militant must fight... if we do not fight the enemy, we will fight each other! We are in one of those times. Fr. Fredrick Faber in his sermon on Devotion to the Pope provides much guidance and wisdom on what to do in difficult times like these. We must be sensitive to the Holy See and love the Papacy because devotion to the Pope is indispensable for Catholic piety. This time is a test... let us pass it by not damaging or even losing our faith in trying to defend our faith.
