For a long period, when considering conservative political theology, the work of John Milbank and Radical Orthodoxy would often be turned too to provide the theological nuance required for a more religiously centred political order and a rejection of neo-liberalism. Today, the theology of Integralism has taken on the mantle of the go-to Conservative political theology, especially in an American context. Both theologies advocate for a politics that is orientated towards religion, but do so in slightly different ways. For many on the extremes of the conservative political spectrum, these theologies give license for a sudo-theocratic politics that often includes a complete rejection of liberal, neo-liberal, or democratic ideals. This paper argues that while both Radical Orthodoxy and Integralism are functional theologies, a more suitable conservative political theology can be found in the work of Joseph Ratzinger. This paper will explore the theologies of Radical Orthodoxy and integralism, showcasing how the later emerged from the former. Then I shall explore the ways integralism has been utilised to underpin extreme political backsliding, before arguing that a Ratzinger's political theology provides a more sustainable conservative political theology that does not dismiss or reject neo-liberal or democratic institutions outright.
