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.

Personality
Christian Democracy will generally act as stereotype of a catholic old person from either Western or Central Europe, and as a more moderate version of Distributism.

Friends

 * [[File: Distributist.png]] Distributism - My favorite child.
 * [[File: Patcon.png]] Paternalistic Conservatism - My more moderately religious brethren and best friend.
 * [[File:Conserv.png]] Conservatism [[File:Con-t.png]] - Inseparable friend. I share his social views.
 * [[File:Liberalconservative.png]] Liberal Conservatism - These days, we're mostly the same.
 * [[File:WelfChauvin.png]] Welfare Chauvinism - He's a conservative too, but a bit too nationalistic. But our supporters have very similar beliefs anyway.
 * [[File: Christsoc.png]] Christian Socialism - We must help the poor in our policy, although I'm not sure if abolishing wage labour is necessarily the right way to do it.

Frenemies

 * [[File: Lib.png]] Liberalism - While your underlying government system is generally the right one, your social system favours the individual at the expence of the community, and we can't have that in place.
 * [[File: Socdem.png]] Social Democracy - While your underlying government system is generally in the right place, your social system favours the community at the expence of the individual and we can't have that.
 * [[File:Xbert.png]] Christian Libertarianism - While your underlying government system and your civic positions generally are the right ones, your social system REALLY favors the individual at the expence of the community, and once again, we can't have that. Oh and cool down with those guns, will you?
 * [[File:Christcom.png]] Christian Communism - While I appreciate your faith in our Lord, you're proposition for the complete removal of property is nightmarish
 * [[File:Christy.png]]Christian Theocracy - I understand that it is normal to have one's religion influence policy, I am quite wary of imposing one's religion onto the population. Does Jesus not have the sole authority?

Enemies

 * [[File: Neoliberal-icon.png]] Neoliberalism - Vote stealer Godless foe and atheistic abomination.
 * [[File:Satan.png]] Satanic Theocracy - Heretic that should burn.
 * [[File:Auton.png]] Autonomism - A psychopath who poisoned the minds of an entire generation
 * [[File: ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - Anti Christianity and anti democracy! Also cringe economics. Probably the most vile and disgusting ideology ever!
