One of the major British political anomalies vis-a-vis Europe is the lack of a Christian Democratic political party. In most European countries, these parties are part of the political fabric of the nation, but in Britain Christian Democracy never developed into a party. Research has shown that during the twentieth century there were British groups, inspired by Catholic social thought, that were a close approximation to Christian Democracy. These groups not only sought to influence the existing parties, but they also introduced typical Christian Democratic concerns into domestic politics. In Europe, Christian Democracy emerges mainly as a phenomenon to organize and defend Catholics from the encroachments of liberal and socialist parties. Here, Morisi talks about the British Christian democratic movements. Adapted from the source document.
