Protestant Leaders Challenge King Charles’ Vatican Visit
Faith Facts
- King Charles III joined Pope Leo XIV for an ecumenical service in the Sistine Chapel, a historic event since the Reformation.
- The Orange Order’s leaders from Ireland, England, and Scotland expressed concern over the King’s participation, citing his Coronation oath to uphold the Protestant Reformed religion.
- Members of the Orange Order emphasized steadfast faith and prayer for the King to uphold biblical truth amid changing spiritual currents.
King Charles III’s recent visit to the Vatican and joint worship with Pope Leo XIV raised deep concerns among Protestant leaders who see the Reformed faith as foundational to the United Kingdom.
They reminded the King of his sacred Coronation oath and urged him to remain anchored in the truths of the Reformation, even as the nation faces spiritual challenges.
One Northern Ireland lodge contrasted the King’s choices with the faithful example of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, lamenting the nation’s waning Christian witness.
“We will pray that the King of Kings will not only continue to bless the monarchy but will particularly pray that God will indeed save the King, from himself.”
The Orange Order’s legacy stands as a testament to steadfast faith and the enduring importance of defending biblical principles.
Now more than ever, believers are called to pray that national leaders courageously uphold God’s truth and honor Britain’s Christian foundations.
