The right to rule is from God
Spirituality
St. Louis De Montfort (1710): “This [true devotion to Mary] is an easy, short, perfect and secure way of attaining union with our Lord… It [the way of Mary] is an easy way. It is the way which Jesus Christ Himself trod in coming to us, and in which there is no obstacle in reaching Him. It is true that we can attain divine union by other roads; but it is by many more crosses and strange deaths, and with many more difficulties, which we shall find it hard to overcome. We must pass through obscure nights, through combats, through strange agonies, over craggy mountains, through cruel thorns, and over frightful deserts. But by the path of Mary we pass more gently and more tranquilly.” (True Devotion to Mary #152)
Doctrine
Pope Leo XIII (1881): “… the right to rule is from God, as from a natural and necessary principle. It is of importance, however, to remark in this place that those who may be placed over the State may in certain cases be chosen by the will and decision of the multitude, without opposition to or impugning Catholic doctrine. And by this choice, in truth, the ruler is designated, but the rights of ruling are not thereby conferred.” (Diuturnum # 4, June 29)
