All the Kingdoms of the World Quotes

“What is integralism? Here is a gloss: Catholic integralists say that governments must secure the earthly and heavenly common good.4 God authorizes two powers to do so, they assert. The state governs in matters temporal, and the church in matters spiritual. Since the church has a nobler purpose than the state (salvation), it may authorize and direct the state to support it with certain policies, such as enforcing church law. At times, the church may need assistance to advance its objectives.”
