Institute of Christ The King Sovereign Priest

The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (Latin: Institutum Christi Regis Summi Sacerdotis) is a society of priests in the Catholic Church that celebrates the Liturgy in Latin in accordance with its constitutions and founding documents. Its goals are to preserve and patronize traditional Latin Rite liturgical art and music. It has undertaken the restoration of a number of historic church buildings.

The Institute is a Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right, whose rule of life is based generally on that of the secular canons. The Institute has its own choir dress, adopted in 2006, which was given to members by the Cardinal Archbishop of Florence. Its stated mission is the defense and propagation of the reign of Christ in all areas of human life, both private and social.

    Not one man is forgiven! East, West, North, South!
    I bite off their dingbats. Christ rots in my mouth.
    I curse the seed of my father that put me here
    for when I die there’ll be no one to say: Oh No!
    Oh dear.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    You are a king by your own fireside, as much as any monarch in his throne.
    Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

    If we study nature attentively, alike in its great revolutions and in its minutest works, it is impossible not to admit enchantment—giving the word its fullest meaning. Man can create no force; he can but use the only existing force, which includes all others, namely, Motion—the incomprehensible Breath of the sovereign maker of the universe.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    Oh we drunk his “Hale” in the good red wine
    When we last made company,
    No capon priest was the Goodly Fere
    But a man o’ men was he.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
