An international conference titled 'Christ is King' will be held in Zagreb, featuring notable clergy and theologians discussing the implications of Christ's kingship in modern society.
The 'Christ is King' international conference, organized by the Blessed Ivan Merz apologetics association, is set to take place on March 7, 2026, at the Grand Hotel Zagreb. This event will gather distinguished church leaders, theologians, and lay speakers from Croatia, Europe, and the United States, focusing on the social kingship of Christ and its relevance for contemporary issues. The involvement of international figures highlights the significance of the discussion on faith and society.
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone from San Francisco will deliver the keynote address, exploring the theme of renewing Western civilization in light of Christ's kingship and the responsibilities of Christians in public life. His participation underscores the intersection of faith with societal values and the role of religious leaders in advocating for a moral framework in the public arena. Additionally, Dutch Bishop Robert Mutsaerts will address the state of contemporary society, warning of the chaos that ensues when Christ is not recognized as King.
Furthermore, David Rodríguez, a Master of Theology from the Fatima Center in the U.S., will discuss the Marian approach to Christ's social kingship, emphasizing the importance of devotion in societal renewal. This gathering not only aims to inspire dialogue among participants but also seeks to mobilize a collective effort towards promoting the social kingship of Christ within the modern world, which can influence both personal faith and communal standards.
