Word & Way, a Christian news site covering faith, culture, and politics, published the news about how the Michigan House of Representatives passed House Resolution No. 222, a measure to honor Sunday, November 23, 2025, as Christ’s universal dominion over the nations. The text of the resolution honors Pope Pius XI’s Feast of Christ the King—a Catholic festival established in 1925 to counter the rise of secularism and to reassert the church’s authority over civil society. Both visions—Pius XI’s and today’s Christian nationalists’—share the same underlying assumption that claims that society cannot prosper unless the state recognizes Christ’s kingship through law, policy, and public order.
Word & Way expressed the following:
• “On Thursday, Nov. 13, the Michigan House of Representatives passed a resolution to officially declare Nov. 23 as “Christ the King Sunday.” The resolution, which passed without debate on a voice vote that did not seem to draw any opposition, declares that the lawmakers “honor and acknowledge Christ’s Kingship within every aspect of life.” [1]
• “Republican state Rep. Josh Schriver, who sponsored the resolution, declared in his brief remarks in the House chamber that Christ the King Sunday is a time ‘to remember that moral truth stands above political power.’ He added that the day should remind people that ‘freedom depends on something deeper than government. It depends on the conscious virtue of its citizens and our bedrock of faith.’ [1]
The actual text of the law that was passed affirms that the civil government must recognize the kingship of Christ and that all earthly authority is subject to His rule. House Resolution 222 states the following:
• “Reps. Schriver, Cavitt, DeSana, Maddock, Markkanen, Johnsen, Wozniak, Fox, Woolford, Rigas and Kelly offered the following resolution:” [2]
• “A resolution to declare November 23, 2025, as Christ the King Sunday in the state of Michigan.” [2]
• “Many Christian communities throughout the state of Michigan and the world recognize the last Sunday of each liturgical year as the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, or as Christ the King Sunday; and Whereas, this is a day when those throughout the world take pause to honor and acknowledge Christ’s Kingship within every aspect of life; and Whereas, in Daniel 7:14, it is said that “[Christ] received dominion, splendor, and kingship; all nations, peoples and tongues will serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, his kingship, one that shall not be destroyed.” [2]
• “This feast day began in 1925, during a time when the world was shrouded in secularism and atheism and when regimes across the world were persecuting Christians for showing their love and fidelity to Christ. Pope Pius XI instituted this day to show that Christ the King was the answer to our challenges and that he would reign forever.” [2]
• “Resolved by the House of Representatives, that the members of this legislative body declare November 23, 2025, as Christ the King Sunday in the state of Michigan. We encourage Michiganders to join in reflection, service, and acts of kindness that honor the moral and spiritual values exemplified by Christ the King.” [2]
You know the danger that arises when legislative bodies begin to impose Roman Catholic doctrine on their citizens. Pope Pius XI’s Feast of Christ the King was an attempt to reestablish Rome’s spiritual authority over the nations. Today, Christian nationalists in the United States are seeking to create this same model on Protestant soil. But they go even further by linking Christ’s dominion directly to Sunday observance, presenting Sunday as the official day on which Christ’s authority over all earthly powers—including civil governments—must be publicly acknowledged. [3]
When a state legislature adopts a resolution rooted in Papal supremacy and calls on its citizens to honor Christ’s universal dominion on Sunday, it shows that Protestant America is accepting the idea that government should recognize and promote religious doctrine. This is precisely what the prophecy of Revelation 13 warns about. The “image of the beast” is formed when a once-Protestant nation adopts Rome’s model of centralized religious-political authority and begins enacting laws to advance its doctrines.
“In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own end” (Great Controversy, p. 443).

What the Michigan House did is clearly wrong. However, the article calls the resolution a law. That is technically not correct.
