Integralism vs. Christian Realism

Three thinkers popular with integralists (believers in a religious confessional state, typically Catholic) have advocated a not-so-new version of USA foreign policy "restraint" in a New York Times op-ed. Sohrab Ahmari, Patrick Deneen and Gladden Pappin complain that many conservatives remain wedded to the Cold War's "violently expansionist foreign policy," opposing "liberal imperialism in the United States -- the aggressive push to impose progressive values, often joined to corporate power -- while still contriving to spread the same order to the ends of the earth."
