The concept of a Catholic theocracy has its roots in the early formation of the Church. After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, the Catholic Church emerged as one of the most powerful institutions in Europe, assuming not only spiritual authority but also significant political influence. The first true Catholic theocracy is often traced to the Papal States, established in the 8th century when Pope Stephen II sought protection from the Lombards and received land from the Frankish king Pepin the Short. This territory, later expanded by Pepin's son Charlemagne, became the Papal States, which were governed directly by the pope until the 19th century.

• Christian Theocracy - Jesus was catholic, right?

Mixtum

• Crusadism - As of now, I can't directly call out support for you, I am sorry.
• Orthodox Theocracy - You reject the filioque and papal supremacy and are therefore a heretic but we both hate Protestantism and love tradition.
• Bonapartism - Thank you for restoring me in France, but did you have to invade the Papal States? Also did you just crown yourself? You can't do that!
• Jewish Theocracy - I aided your escape in WW2, but I will not recant my contempt for your religious beliefs.
• Capitalism - I condemn you in Rerum Novarum.

Heretic

• Protestantism - Why do you even keep existing after I stopped selling indulgences?
  • You seriously think this was only about indulgences?
• Lutheran Theocracy - You’re the one responsible for this mess! Stop criticizing me!
• Islamic Theocracy - Jerusalem is mine! *Starts another crusade*
• Kleptocracy - On top of commandment #7, the HRE attempted to weaken me via simony, and corruption inside me (which I later got rid of) caused them to show up.

• LGBTQ+ - Your actions are intrinsically disordered.
