Decades before Pope Pius XI established the annual Feast of Christ the King, President Abraham Lincoln urged Americans to recognize the Lord's "supreme authority and just government". Advocating adherence to Biblical guidance like his predecessor, President Warren G. Harding applied the term Lincolnism to the commitment as necessary today as when first suggested at Gettysburg, "that this Nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom". Freedom is a great blessing from God and as Pope John Paul II pointed out, "A new birth of freedom is repeatedly necessary...the freedom to observe God's law...the freedom to live as children of God...the freedom to be America in that constitutional democracy which was conceived to be one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all".
