“THE Spiritual Kingship of Christ, participated in by the Pope and the Bishops of the Catholic Church, being no longer acknowledged, authority over spiritual affairs passed to the Temporal Rulers… As there was no Infallible Guardian of order above the Temporal Rulers, the way was paved for the abuses of State Absolutism… The principle of private judgment prepared the way for the opposite extreme error of ‘holy rebellion’ and the ‘right’ of people to overthrow authority whenever it displeases them. The doctrine, that all men are equal in the Mystical Body and are their own priests, sowed the seeds of that spirit, which was given a body in the naturalistic Masonic society, when the advance of time had brought about the decay of belief in the supernatural life.”

— Rev. Denis Fahey, CSs.P., The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World, 1938.
