Christian democratic theory

Christian democratic theory is a political ideology that seeks to apply Christian values and ethics to public policy and governance. It emphasizes principles like social justice, solidarity, and the common good while promoting democracy, human rights, and the welfare of all citizens. Rooted in the belief that morality and faith can guide political decisions, Christian democracy advocates for a balance between individual freedom and social responsibility. It supports a mixed economy, encouraging both market efficiency and social welfare programs to address inequalities, honoring the dignity of every person created in the image of God.
