| Summary: | If one were to take the usage of the phrase "Christian democracy" as a starting point for an investigation of the history of Dutch Catholicism, one might reach the conclusion that this movement was not brought to life until the inception of the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA). Nothing is further from the truth. Both the Roman Catholic State Party (RKSP), from 1896 to 1945, and the Catholic People's Party (KVP), from 1945 to 1980, were typical Christian democratic parties. The term "Christian democratic" was only used by these parties insofar as they took part in the international consultations between the sister parties. In 1973, the CDA started its history as a collaboration between the KVP and the two Protestant parties, which fused into one single party in 1980. Dutch Catholics have made an important contribution to CDA ideology, drawing extensively on their own Christian democratic tradition. |
