Catholic Integralism, as stated, 20th c.-present
20th Century · stated scope
Catholic Integralism is a political theology holding that the Catholic Church's spiritual authority is superior to and should formally direct civil government toward supernatural ends. It draws on medieval and early modern Catholic thought, with a revival of scholarly interest beginning in the late twentieth century and continuing into the twenty-first, primarily in Western Europe and North America. It is principally associated with thinkers such as Thomas Pink, Pater Edmund Waldstein, and Integralist journals and publications arguing for the subordination of temporal to spiritual power.
