카톨릭 인테그랄리즘은 인간의 삶의 목적과 정치를 분리해서 생각하는 리버럴적 정교분리를 거부하며, 정치적 통치는 인간의 궁극적 의미를 결정한다고 믿는 사상이다. 인간은 현세적이며 동시에 영속한 목적을 가졌기에, 인테그랄리즘은 인간을 다스리는 힘이 현세 권력, 그리고 영적 권력 두가지라 규정한다. 그리고 인간의 현세적 목표는 영원한 목표에 종속되기 때문에, 영적 권력은 현세, 세속적 권력에 우위를 점한다.
Trys sakiniai apie integralizmą
Katalikiškas integralizmas yra minties tradicija, kuri atmeta liberalizmo perskyrą tarp politikos ir rūpesčio žmogaus gyvenimo tikslu, bei teigia, kad politinė valdžia turi vadovauti žmogui, atsižvelgdama į jo galutinį tikslą. Kadangi žmogus turi ir žemiškąjį, ir amžinąjį tikslą, integralizmas teigia, kad jį valdo dvi galios — žemiškoji ir dvasinė. Žmogaus žemiškasis tikslas yra pavaldus jo dvasiniam tikslui, tad žemiškoji galia privalo būti pavaldi dvasinei galiai.
Integralizam u tri rečenice
Katolički integralizam je tradicija misli koja odbacuje liberalno odvajanje politike od brige o svrsi ljudskoga života, držeći kako politička vlast treba usmjeriti čovjeka prema njegovoj konačnoj svrsi. Budući da, međutim, čovjek ima i vremenitu i vječnu svrhu, prema integralizmu postoje dvije moći koje njime vladaju: vremenita moć i duhovna moć. I budući da je čovjekova vremenita svrha podređena njegovoj vječnoj svrsi, vremenita moć treba biti podređena duhovnoj moći.
Három mondatban az integrizmus
A katolikus integrizmus egy gondolati hagyomány, amely elutasítja a politika liberális elidegenítését az emberi élet célja felfogásától, azt állítva, hogy a politikai uralomnak vezetnie kell az embert az utolsó célja felé. De mivel az embernek mind világi, mind örök célja van, az integrizmus szerint kettő hatalom uralkodik fölötte – ugyanis egy világi hatalom és egy lelki hatalom. Sőt, mivel az ember világi célja az örök célja alá van rendelve, a világi hatalmat a lelki hatalom alá kell rendelni.
L’intégrisme en trois phrases
L’intégrisme catholique est une tradition de pensée qui insiste que le pouvoir politique doive guider l’homme à son but final, rejetant la séparation libérale entre la politique et le but de la vie humaine. Étant donné que l’homme a une fin éternelle aussi bien que temporelle, l’intégrisme affirme qu’il y a deux pouvoirs qui le gouvernent : un pouvoir temporel et un pouvoir éternel. Et comme la fin temporelle de l’homme est subordonnée à sa fin éternelle, il faut que le pouvoir temporel soit subordonné au pouvoir spirituel.
Drei Sätze zum katholischen Integralismus
Der katholische Integralismus ist eine Denktradition, die die liberale Trennung der Politik von der Sorge um das Ziel des menschlichen Lebens ablehnt und festhält, dass politische Herrschaft den Menschen auf sein Endziel hinzuordnen hat. Da der Mensch jedoch sowohl ein zeitliches als auch ein ewiges Ziel hat, hält der Integralismus fest, dass es zwei Gewalten gibt, die ihn beherrschen: eine zeitliche Gewalt und eine geistliche Gewalt. Und da das zeitliche Ziel des Menschen seinem ewigen Ziel untergeordnet ist, muss die zeitliche Gewalt der geistlichen Gewalt untergeordnet sein.
El integrismo en tres frases
El integrismo católico es una tradición de pensamiento que sostiene que el poder político debiera ordenar al hombre a su fin último, rechazando la separación liberal entre la política y la preocupación por el fin de la vida humana. Puesto que el hombre tiene tanto un fin temporal como uno eterno, el integrismo defiende que existen dos potestades que lo gobiernan: una temporal y una espiritual. Y ya que el fin temporal del hombre se encuentra subordinado al eterno, la potestad temporal ha de estar subordinada a la espiritual.
The Josias Podcast, Episode IX: Before Church and State
How ought we to think of our common life as human beings created in the image of God? Do our modern habits of thought prevent us from understanding what was going on in the Middle Ages? And more importantly: can the Middle Ages help us to escape the errors embedded in our common life today and thus open a path towards unfeigned peace? What is sovereignty? Is it necessary for peace? How do nature and grace relate, and what follows from that for the relation of temporal and spiritual power? Pater Edmund is joined by Alan Fimister and Andrew Willard Jones to discuss the later’s book Before Church and State.

The Josias Podcast, Episode VIII: Basic Concepts – Virtue
A freewheeling discussion in which our editors have a very TAC moment discussing the connection of the music of the spheres and the virtues, and then set out to discuss Aristotle’s Virtue Ethics, but somehow talk more about Plato. Important topics are covered such as, how much virtue does it take to refrain from throwing a baby from an upper-story window? Is there any sense in which Bertrand Russell has virtue? All this, and so much more!
The editors had so much fun that the time slipped by without even getting to the supernatural virtues or the post-enlightenment revolt against virtue.

Politics and the Church
by Scott Hahn
The following is an excerpt from Scott Hahn’s new book The First Society. Posted here with the kind permission of the author.
The Western world has spent much of the last few centuries trying to find or form a replacement for the unifying catholicity of the Catholic Church. But the project has always been doomed to failure. No purely human idea or institution can replace the sacramental solidarity of the Church. Continue reading “Politics and the Church”
