In these sources, the good Cardinal repeatedly affirms that the supernatural order, established by God in creation and consummated in the Incarnation and Redemption, remains obligatory and indispensable; the establishment of Christian piety and divine law in private life must find its complement in the public, civic order so that society might reflect the order of grace. Through the methodical work of Fra Saint-Just, the book renders accessible this comprehensive vision: Christ's kingship is universal, lawful, and foundational for all legitimate human community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery apt for our time, in its systematic chapters the book shows that to deny the social reign of Christ - that is, to limit Christianity to private devotion or mere \"personal morality\" - is to accept the desacralization of society. Society is thusly reduced to a bifurcation in which the temporal order is autonomous, dechristened, and exposed to the revolutions of impiety, materialism, and social discord. Cardinal Pie, as Fra Saint-Just presents him, insists that when the State or civil institutions abandon the recognition of Christ's sovereign kingship, they relinquish their legitimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 23, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53910002565427,"sku":"9798999756060","price":37.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/QZJb5pRYLq9798999756060.webp?v=1787834365","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-social-kingship-of-christ-according-to-cardinal-pie-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
