Christian democracy

Christian democracy is a political ideology that started in 19th-century Europe with the influence of Christian teachings.[1][2] It was a combination of modern democratic ideas and traditional Christian values, focusing on social justice and the teachings of Christianity.[3] After World War II, Catholic and Protestant movements are important in shaping Christian democracy.[4]
