Pope Leo XIV's Encyclical Rejects Christ's Sovereignty Over Nations

Pope Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas formally asserts that civil society and the state possess 'full autonomy' from the Catholic Church and from religion itself, drawing sharp criticism from Catholic analysts who argue it contradicts centuries of Church teaching on the authority of Christ over all nations. This represents a significant prophetic signal, as Scripture warns of a coming global religious system that abandons foundational truth and accommodates the world's secular order rather than submitting to God's sovereignty. The apostle Paul warned that a great 'falling away' would precede the return of Christ, and the deliberate theological softening of Christ's Kingship by the world's largest Christian institution aligns with this prophesied apostasy.
