The Reformed and Catholic Tradition on the Kingship of Christ – Reformed Theology Delatinized

Aside from Anselm of Canterbury I see not so much in this article about the Catholic tradition on the kingship of Christ. Plenty there not included in the article. But it is good to see that the kingship of Christ is upheld in the Reformed tradition.

The idea goes way way back. Wikipedia says this:

According to Cyril of Alexandria, "Christ has dominion over all creatures, ...by essence and by nature." His kingship is founded upon the hypostatic union. "... [T]he Word of God, as consubstantial with the Father, has all things in common with him, and therefore has necessarily supreme and absolute dominion over all things created."[3]

"From this it follows that to Christ angels and men are subject. Christ is also King by acquired, as well as by natural right, for he is our Redeemer. ...' We are no longer our own property, for Christ has purchased us "with a great price"; our very bodies are the "members of Christ."[4] A third ground of sovereignty is that God bestowed upon Christ the nations of the world as His special possession and dominion. "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me." (Matthew 28:18)

And one of the principal feasts of the Catholic liturgical calendar is Christ the King, towards the close of the liturgical year. November 22nd this year.

Reformed catholicity is a real thing.

Reformed catholicity is a real thing.

So was your post about Reformed catholic tradition or about Reformed AND Catholic tradition? The linked article title was about Reformed and Catholic tradition on the kingship of Christ. And the article was all Reformed, except for Anselm the Catholic.

I can't argue with you here, and I'm not even inclined to argue with you as I am a guest and an unreformed one at that. Just wondering if the analysis goes into what is shared between Reformed and Catholic or what.

Catholic in the true sense, not in the Roman sense, I hope that helps.

OK. Sorry to bother you. Bye.

No problem.

But even Catholics admit that what Francis is doing is not "catholic" in any sense. He's selling out. There is a sense which Roman Catholics and other Christians have commonality, this is what I mean by catholic.
