171 The First Commandment – Worship God Individually and Socially

In this episode we reflect on the obligation that, as a result of the First Commandment, individual persons and societies and their leaders as well, have to recognize and obey God, Jesus Christ, and even accept and recognize the Catholic Church as the Church established by Christ. We mention the examples of St. Louis IX King of France, St. Ferdinand III King of Castile and Aragon, Blessed Karl of Austria and Gabriel García Moreno President of Ecuador.

- You can find these topics in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, numbers 2104 to 2109.
