Clerical Fascism

Clerical Fascism, clipped to Clerfash is a Totalitarian, Culturally Far-Right and Economically Centre to Mid-Right ideologyball. Clerfash is a child of  Fascism and   Christian Theocracy and believes that a Fascistic political system should be explicitly religious and serve the interests of the Church as well as of the Nation. Many see Clerfash as an evil ideology based simply on his identity politics, however he is tolerated by other Christian ideologies such as Christian Democracy.

Personality
Clerical Fascism is usually portrayed as an extreme Italian Catholic that usually really dislikes other religions. He absolutely hates all forms of degeneracy (as according to the Bible), and usually takes a hard-line view of race and nationality, not unlike National Socialism. He is usually very haughty, but he is extremely orderly and his loyalty will never wear out.

History
The term Clerical Fascism originated in the early 1920s in Italy, referring to the faction of the Church that supported Benito Mussolini. It has few examples of successful regimes, however there have been multiple attempts at creating a Clerical Fascist state.

The Iron Guard
Perhaps the most famous example, the Iron Guard was a Romanian Fascist political party created in 1927 by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. Originally called the Legion of the Archangel Michael, the political party was officially dissolved multiple times before coming into power on the 14 of September, 1940 after the assassination of Cordreanu. It only stayed in power for 5 months before being betrayed by the Prime minister, Ion Antonescu, and was banned on the 23rd of January, 1941. More info

FET y de las JONS
Another famous example, the National Syndicalist party that formed in 1937 from the merger between the Carlist party and the  Falange Española de las JONS. After the Spanish Civil War, they were combined with several other Nationalist parties, however there was a great amount of tension between the Falangists and the Carlists which ended up manifesting itself in violence with the Begona Incident.

By the middle of World War two, the party began to stress the unique "Spanish Catholic authoritarianism" of the Falange, as well as switching gears from being a political party to being a movement. The movement slowly died out until 1965, when the SEU (the student organization of the movement) was dissolved. More info

National Synarchist Union
The UNS was a Mexican Clerical Fascist party founded in May of 1937 by Jose Antonio Urquiza. During the second world war, the government attempted to "tame" them, and when this failed they decided they must be controlled. All UNS meetings were banned, at the same time the party was fracturing. The party eventually split in two when the leader was replaced. The deposed leader started his own party, and both claimed they were the true UNS. Ultimately, they were outmaneuvered by the government, who openly supported both Catholicism and worker's rights, which basically occupied the political space that would normally be associated with critics from both the right and the left, thus taking all of the political power away from them. They were never disbanded however, and exist even to this day, with two political factions. More info
