Diebus Saltem Dominicis – Christ the King: all nations under His most sweet sovereignty

While we might think that this Sunday we celebrate the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost, or the 30th in the in Novus Ordo, in the Vetus Ordo this Sunday is the Feast of Christ the King.

Papa Ratti, Pius XI (+1939) was elected to the See of Peter in 1922.
