Integralism

Integralism is a political and religious philosophy that advocates for a unified society where Church and state work together according to Catholic principles. It emphasizes that moral and spiritual values should influence public policies, aiming to create a harmonious order rooted in Catholic teachings. Instead of separating religion from governance, integralism seeks to integrate them, believing this leads to social stability, moral integrity, and the common good. Historically, it has been associated with efforts to align national laws and institutions with church doctrines, promoting a society where religious beliefs inform civic life.
