Three Sentences on why all Politics are Integralist


Catholic Integralism is the thesis that the proper end of politics is the securing of mankind’s proper, spiritual, eternal ends – and that therefore the temporal authority (government) must be subordinated to the spiritual authority (church).

All political beliefs (silently or explicitly) agree, whether the proper end is Millian individual-actualisation or Marxist utopia or anything else - with their theorists the alternative Bishops.

Every political view, therefore, is Integralist – the only decision to make is which religion (Liberalism, Socialism, Calvinism, Catholicism, etc) integrates the temporal and spiritual spheres.
