„Detronizacja” Jezusa Chrystusa Króla w odnowionej liturgii Kościoła? W odpowiedzi na niektóre interpretacje
The “Dethroning” of Jesus Christ the King in the Renewed Liturgy of the Church? Answering to Certain Interpretations

Summary/Abstract: For some time there have been voices, especially in the circles of the so called traditionalists, that the Second Vatican Council and the following renewal of the liturgy have brought about the “dethroning” of Jesus Christ. The evidence for this theory is allegedly to be found in the modifications introduced to the Mass form of the Feast of Christ the King. Therefore, in this article we analyse the theological questions concerning the new name of the holiday: “the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe”, and its place in the new Church calendar as the last Sunday of the liturgical year. We also work on the juxtaposition of the Mass form applied before the Council and the one modified in the new missal. From this research we draw a conclusion that the theology and the message of the Feast of Christ the King not only have not been altered in any way, but on the contrary, they have been clearly emphasised, drawing inspiration from the New Testament. That is why the allegations made about the new form of liturgy are merely ideological in character.
