This study intends to approach Joseph Ratzinger’s “apolitical” political theology by connecting certain elements of his political thought to the nods of his vast theological corpus. To this end the article recalls the spectrum of political theology which disputes with modernism in dialogue and in which affirmations on natural political philosophy have no central role compared to the theological content. Joseph Ratzinger’s wide-perspective political theology entails the fields of ontology, anthropology, ethics, and epistemology in which natural philosophy is offered a conceivable field, therefore, he arranged his arguments onto these fields. The arguments either aim at the logically undefended points of modernism and relativism (post-modernism) or offer to transcend them by delving deeper into the Christian revelation build on the Scripture and submerging into the connection with God through individual and collective devotion.
