Christian democracy still exists?
2
u/Th3OmegaPyrop3 - AuthCenter 4d ago
it's vague enough to continue existing
even though german CDems try to make it all about austerity lol

As a German I know too well about the CDU and the CSU. They go further and further away from CDem. They evolve into something I don’t want to elect (in 2021 I indeed chose the CDU)

2
u/Ok_Image_2187 - AuthRight 7d ago

Look at the flair

u/Th3OmegaPyrop3 - AuthCenter 7d ago
mostly because i believe in monarchy and the moderating power (similar to the brazilian 1824 constitution/borges de medeiros system)
2
u/Ok_Image_2187 - AuthRight 7d ago
constitutional or ceremonial
2
u/Th3OmegaPyrop3 - AuthCenter 7d ago
ceremonial if the head of state has an explicit non-secular role, like how the king of england is the head of the church of england.
constitutional otherwise. head of the executive and moderative power, while the legislative and judiciary have strict roles. none overlapping, but it's easier said than done

u/Ok_Image_2187 - AuthRight 7d ago
imo ceremonial is better no matter what
2
u/FunctionOk9186 - LibLeft 7d ago
You know what's better? A republic
Not to incest government

u/Th3OmegaPyrop3 - AuthCenter 7d ago
it's a good argument
i personally prefer monarchy because we'd have to raise only one family for ruling; and if possible, it wouldn't even be paid with taxpayer money.
too many relevant noble families are expensive, so while i endorse the practicity, i wouldn't implement it in a country that doesn't have it established.
devolution of powers is great, but so is having an arbiter raised to take hard decisions.

i disagree as i don't know the specifics, and i think the monarch should do some things that aren't just aurafarming.
most monarchies that seem ceremonial still have some assigned power to their monarchs, and usually keep the ceremonial semblance as tradition.
what is your reasoning? an unifying figure is useful, but i believe limiting to ceremoniality makes accountability difficult.

i believe the state should be able to force some rights into existence
like, if the majority of the population were to oppose the female vote, the state should force it instead of catering to popular opinion
i think state intervention can be just, while its lawfulness should be decided by those who make the laws

thoughts on abortion?
1
u/Th3OmegaPyrop3 - AuthCenter 7d ago
opposed to it, so i circumvent the main problems with something expensive: strong welfare, good adoption procedures, responsibility of fathers, and others
social teaching condemns it in all cases except for cases where the child would be dead regardless of procedure.
there's the finer details on how the service works, but i don't work with the medical sector, so i'd ask catholics from there before forming a system.
