Christian Democracy

Christian Democracy is an economically Centre-Left to Centre-Right (largely depending on his opposition), Moderately Authoritarian and Culturally Centre-Right to Right-wing ideology, born out of an affair between Christian Theocracy and  Liberal Democracy.

Christian Democracy's beliefs largely vary from the country to country, and unlike his father he isn't necessarily catholic, what usually stays consistent is the belief that the state that works within a liberal-democratic framework should enforce traditional values of the catholic church.
