Clerical Fascism

[Antonine]

Clerical Fascism is a political ideology with many movements worldwide espousing not only corporatism and other fascist ideas, but also the alliance of religion and state. Clerical Fascism is by no means a new movement or ideology--modern variants like Hezbollah have been more successful than their forebears--but instead dates to the early days of fascism in Italy, Romania, Spain, and other regions home to populations of influential fascists. Nevertheless, the idea of clerical fascism is unclear in some ways as there can be many variations in economics, religious nature, intensity and nature of state in public life, and education. There are also the ideal of the prototypical fascist man, which while have commonalities such as heroism, healthy breeding, productiveness, can have wide differences between cultures and religions.

Nevertheless, this form of fascism is quite interesting because it remains powerful in some parts of the world, and even influential in some ways in democratic politics as some of its former adherents became mainstream conservative politicians.

There is also the "Catholic Workers' Movement".

I am against such Clerical Fascism in principle and what's more find it completely unrealistic as far as my country is concerned.
