George Weigel mocks the Social Kingship of Christ.
George Weigel teaches us the Social Kingship of Christ is a dead doctrine in the post-Vatican II Pluralistic Church. The Church taught it for nearly 2,000 years (see: www.latin-mass-society.org/2006/socialkingship.html www.catholictradition.org/Christ/kingship2.htm & www.christorchaos.com/ACatechismofthe… ) but times have changed. Weigel and Bottum assert the Social Kingship of Christ doctrine has morphed into a Kingship of Christ over the individual.

My opinion ... Jesus outranks Obama and Oprah. The Pope outranks them both too. Does that make me unpatriotic? Or do I just have my priorities in line with God's agenda rather than man's? 
Perhaps the state has no business making theological calls. That sounds apt enough. But I think this call has already been made, and it wasn't the state that made it.
