Catholic integralism is a political philosophy that advocates for America to become a Catholic state, with no separation of church and state, and policy and law informed by Catholic teaching.

Despite having a minuscule number of supporters, Catholic integralism has received a lot of press, and gets prime booking as part of the post-liberal movement. Also, despite being an extremist ideology, Catholic integralism and its advocates are treated as totally legitimate in a way that even much more moderate advocates of political change in the US.

The best way to view Catholic integralism is as a movement that's useful to established power and sucking the oxygen out of the room for dissident. Its functional purpose is to collect and harmlessly discharge dissatisfaction with the political status quo.  It is very useful to established power in the way it functions to limit the reach of other approaches that are more practical in America and more realistic to bring into being.
