This dangerous fascist/theocratic mind-control phrase has no history in Christianity prior to the 20th century.The hymn by that title is the earliest dated English instance you can find, though there's a small date discrepancy: Hymnary.org and most hymnals give 1906, while Hymn Time lists 1908. The text was written by Charles Reign Scoville (1869–1938) and set to music by DeLoss Smith. You can find no earlier English-language use of the exact phrase "Christ is King" in print.Who popularized it in the 1920s?Pope Pius XI, through the encyclical Quas Primas (December 11, 1925), which instituted the Feast of Christ the King in the Roman Rite. The timing was deliberate: Europe had just lost its old dynasties (Hohenzollerns, Romanovs, Habsburgs, Ottomans) and was seeing the rise of fascism, communism, and militant nationalism.Simultaneously, the Cristero War in Mexico (1926–1929) gave the phrase a militant, popular dimension. The Cristeros fought the anti-Catholic Calles government under the banner "¡Viva Cristo Rey!" — making "Christ is King" a political slogan, not just a liturgical one.1925–1970: The feast was celebrated on the Sunday before All Saints' Day. It became a fixed part of Catholic liturgy worldwide, reinforced by parish observance, Catholic press, and devotional materials. 1970: After Vatican II, the feast was moved to the last Sunday of the liturgical year (now "Christ the King Sunday"), giving it a closer-to-Advent eschatological emphasis.Late 20th century: The phrase remained largely within Catholic and broader Christian liturgical/devotional use, not a common secular expression.2024 onward: The phrase entered wider public controversy when it was adopted by certain online political figures, prompting debates (and pushback from mainstream Christian leaders) over whether the slogan had been "hijacked."
