text: I agree, personal religious views had no place in the article.  This is what I'm suggesting when I say that the authors are making tenuous connections based on a biased (and distant) read of the American political landscape.
  The don't see an apocalyptic Catholic Right.  There is a culture war, and it would be silly of me to suggest otherwise, but this is based on, not apart from, the author's suggestion of true Christian geopolitical plan where "it applies to the future and orients current history toward the Kingdom of God...".  As "already but not yet" the Kingdom of God remains both a personal, interior conflict as well as one in the larger society.
  Conflating the Catholic Right with the larger Evangelical Right and suggesting that these reflect a Manicheistic view of the world does a disservice to both the author (by his dismissive attitude of a group) and those who say that there is good and evil but not in the way of Manicheism. 
  "Catholic Integralism" is an undefined boogeyman.
