    Christian Democracy is an economically CLeft.png centre-left to Cright.png centre-right (largely depending on his opposition), moderately authoritarian and culturally centre-left to right-wing ideology, born out of an affair between Christy.png Christian Theocracy and Liberal Democracy.png Liberal Democracy.

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

    History

    Christian Democracy can be traced back to the philosophical views of Thomas Aquinas and his thoughts on Christian tradition. According to Aquinas, human rights are based on natural law and are defined as things that humans would need to survive. For example, food is a natural right because without it a human cannot function.

    Christian Democracy began to gain more prominence after the French Revolution where French Republicanism and the Catholic Church were hostile towards one another. The Catholic Church was initially against liberalism, capitalism, and democracy, as they saw them as destructive towards the traditional family lifestyle, promoting selfishness, and allowing permissive and self-indulgent behavior to thrive.

    During the latter half of the 19th century, there were many Catholic political movements which encouraged the Catholic Church to become more involved in modern politics. Many of these movements were united in their opposition to liberal secularism, civil marriage, public education, and separation of church and state. These groups were not entirely against democracy however as they saw democracy as being a politically expedient tool rather than being the best political system. Similar movements were being founded in Protestant countries by more conservative Protestants in reaction to secularization.

    After World War II, many Protestant and Catholic political activists helped rebuild Western Europe and established democracy in the war-torn continent. Christian Democracy was favored by many because it was seen as a politically neutral and unifying movement separate from destructive Fascism or chaotic Communism. Christian Democracy was particularly successful in West Germany, where many had come to detest Adolf Hitler's regime for its authoritarianism and promotion of paganism (by numerous factions).

    Christian Democracy has been embraced by many Catholics in Europe and Latin America as well as by some Protestant and Orthodox Christians. While some Christian Democrat parties have become more secular in recent years, many still support intermediary organizations that can operate between the state and the individual. It is common for Christian Democrat parties to support church-operated schools, hospitals, charities and social insurance funds, usually having payroll taxes or social welfare funding these institutions. They may also support their own labor unions that are organized in their own Christian trade unions separate from their own socialist counterparts.

    The American Solidarity Party has been characterized as socially conservative while supporting fiscally progressive economic policies. The ASP encourages social development along the lines of subsidiarity and sphere sovereignty, with a stated emphasis on "the importance of strong families, local communities, and voluntary associations". It favors fiscally progressive policies and a social market economy with a distributist character and providing a social safety net program.

    The American Solidarity Party largely adheres to the ideology of Christian democracy, which has been influenced by Catholic social teaching, Neo-Calvinist theology and the social teachings espoused by other traditions of Christianity in various parts of the world. As such, the ASP looks to the Christian democratic movements in Europe and the Americas.

    Socially, the party opposes pornography and prostitution, euthanasia, abortion, capital punishment, same-sex marriage, and other things that are deemed to be detrimental to the basis of the sanctity of human life. It views family as being central to society. On foreign matters, it is non-interventionist, favoring peaceful diplomacy as a guiding principle. It supports fair-trade, foreign aid, and opposing violent military action. Economically, the ASP supports a universal healthcare system, as well as an economy containing widespread distribution of productive property, in particular increased worker ownership and management of their production.

    Notes

    1. While maintaining friendly relations with Russia and China, Merkel supported the Iraq War and the War on Terror.
    2. In 1934 in their book "Service Public", François de La Rocque wrote “The United States of Europe can only be the enlargement of a preliminary economic agreement. This will constitute both the touchstone and the first constructive stage of the great secular enterprise34. This anticipates the creation of the European Union from the European Community and previously the European Coal and Steel Community.’’ In 1939 and 1940 they envisioned an ‘‘after Hitler's defeat and collapse (...) a sort of federation of States belonging to the same civilization dominated by great common interests.’’
    3. "Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table." - Kanye West.
