The first of these four talks by Dr. Rao deals with the theme of purification of the social order. That theme was one that became popular in the secular world with the outbreak of the First World War, as though somehow the "beauty" of conflict would purge a decadent society of all its evils. The Papacy also felt that a purification might indeed come from the conflict, but in a negative fashion: by demonstrating through its wickedness and horrors that the warnings that it had been giving since the 1830's regarding the evils of modernity were all too true. Purification could only come through the Social Kingship of Christ; through what Pope Pius XI called "the peace of Christ in the reign of Christ". Presented in Gardone, Italy in July of 2018.
