What does it mean to say 'Christ is King'? The feast of Christ the King turns around the relationship of Church and state—obscured by Vatican II and the Novus Ordo reforms.
As a Protestant, I must say this is a most satisfying read. Very well done. The problem you identify with the changes to the feast and post Vatican II doctrine also took place in the Protestant church. The Protestant church lost the concept of the Lordship of Christ, how that He is present ruler over all things—family, education, the individual, the church, and politics. The founders of this country had that understanding, as did the Puritans, and the early church. In the Protestant church, Christ's rule is limited to personal salvation and He is cutoff from all other areas of life. Is it any wonder the current state of those areas given we have stripped them from Christ the King?
