This article is about the ideology. For the religion itself, see Catholicism.
Catholic Theocracy, sometimes shortened to CathTheo, is an 
authoritarian, 
culturally right, and economically center to center-left ideology inhabiting the upper center political compass. CathTheo seeks to have the values of the 
Catholic faith upheld as the law and to have a state very closely tied to the 
Catholic Church.
History
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.
