I am quite certain a paraphrase of the quote *"the only place where medieval theology survives is pure math"* attributed to one of Gödel's essays by Chaitin, does not appear in his collected works (see [Vol III: Unpublished essays and lectures](https://monoskop.org/images/a/aa/Kurt_Gödel_Collected_Works_Volume_III_1995.pdf)). (At least a search for "medieval" and "theology" only returns references to Gödel's [ontological proof for the existence of God](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel%27s_ontological_proof).) However, if I understand the question in the OP more generally as an interest in this line of thought of Gödel, then the 1961 essay _[The modern development of the foundations of mathematics in the light of philosophy](https://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/at/godel.htm)_ develops it as follows: <sub> > I would like to attempt here to describe, in terms of philosophical > concepts, the development of foundational research in mathematics > since around the turn of the century, and to fit it into a general > schema of possible philosophical world-views. For this, it is > necessary first of all to become clear about the schema itself. I > believe that the most fruitful principle for gaining an overall view > of the possible world-views will be to divide them up according to the > degree and the manner of their affinity to or, respectively, turning > away from metaphysics (or religion). In this way we immediately obtain > a division into two groups: skepticism, materialism and positivism > stand on one side, spiritualism, idealism and theology on the other. > [...] > Now it is a familiar fact, even a platitude, that the development of > philosophy since the Renaissance has by and large gone from right to > left - not in a straight line, but with reverses, yet still, on the > whole. Particularly in physics, this development has reached a peak in > our own time. [...] It would truly be a miracle if this (I would like > to say rabid) development had not also begun to make itself felt in > the conception of mathematics. Actually, mathematics, by its nature as > an a priori science, always has, in and of itself, an inclination > toward the right, and, for this reason, has long withstood the spirit > of the time that has ruled since the Renaissance. <sub> A related line of thought is the question whether mathematics is invented or discovered. Gödel was inclined to the latter, and in a 1951 essay _[Some basic theorems on the foundations of mathematics and their implications](https://partiallyexaminedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/Godel-Basic-Theorems-and-Their-Implications-1.pdf)_ cited Hermite: *There exists, unless I am mistaken, an entire world consisting of the totality of mathematical truths, which is accessible to us only through our intelligence, just as there exists the world of physical realities; each one is independent of us, both of them divinely created.*
