Traditional Catholic View on Divine Right of Monarchs?
Hello, hope everyone is doing well!
As a Catholic who supports monarchism, I was wondering what the traditional Catholic view is regarding the divine right of kings. Is this an idea coming out of the Reformation? Is it an idea rooted in Catholicism and in-line with Church Teaching? What exactly does the Catholic faith teach in regards to the authority of a monarch and their position to rule?
Thank you!
