Quas Primas, the 1925 encyclical of Pope Pius XI, is the Roman Catholic Church's own papal instrument instituting the Feast of Christ the King and articulating the Church's teaching on Christ's kingship over civil society. As the Church's own supreme teaching document on the question, it is fully authoritative for what the Church teaches and for the origin of the feast it instituted, which is the fact this atlas cites it for. It is a normative theological instrument rather than an independent historical or comparative-religion account, and it should be read as the Catholic Church's own doctrinal position rather than a neutral survey.
