I’ll have to be quick, but Bl. John Duns Scotus and what is called the Franciscan thesis of the absolute primacy of Christ does not deny that Jesus Christ came to redeem sinners. The position of the absolute primacy of Christ maintains that Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of all creation even if Adam had not sinned. Because of sin He came as Redeemer; but that was not the primary, let alone exclusive reason for His coming. Hope that helps.

unspun—I’m not sure exactly what you are getting at? But I’ll take a shot at responding. Jesus Christ must reign in the Church, His Bride, as the Head and should reign in the hearts of all. His is the primacy, and none other.

God bless you all...

Indeed. And may that be in practice, uneclipsed whatsoever, as well as in belief.
