Drawing on the work of Pope Benedict XVI, particularly in his 2006 Lenten address and 2009 encyclical Caritas in Veritate, I develop what I take to be an appropriate Christian context for authentic integral human development. In sketching this context, I aim especially to show how it has surprisingly radical implicationsfor example, regarding Church-state relationsthat challenge various presuppositions and foundational commitments of the increasingly secular contemporary anthropological and political mindset.
