Political axes
Our Clerical Fascism model centers on nation consecrated by the Church, with clergy in government, one party, faith militias and Christian corporations running the economy. That core does not specify the constitutional allocation of power between territorial units and a center. Administrative centralization, social equality and opposition to the state are different claims from a federal constitution.
Our Clerical Fascism definition includes “clergy in government, one party, faith militias and Christian corporations running the economy”. Authority is assigned to a qualified, hereditary, corporate or religious leadership rather than equal popular decision-making; mixed constitutional qualifications are retained.
Our Clerical Fascism definition includes “a variant of fascism that fuses ultranationalism, a mass party and militias with the authority of a national Church”. Order or hierarchy supplies a security-oriented context, but does not by itself quantify surveillance or repression.
Our Clerical Fascism model centers on nation consecrated by the Church, with clergy in government, one party, faith militias and Christian corporations running the economy. That core does not specify minority membership, migration and the coexistence of cultural identities. Shared economic interests or a universal philosophical ethic do not alone specify immigration or cultural-integration policy.

Our Clerical Fascism model centers on nation consecrated by the Church, with clergy in government, one party, faith militias and Christian corporations running the economy. That core does not specify coercive foreign projection into other peoples or states. This axis concerns foreign intervention, not nationalism, domestic regulation, cultural confidence or military preparedness alone.
Our Clerical Fascism model centers on nation consecrated by the Church, with clergy in government, one party, faith militias and Christian corporations running the economy. That core does not specify ownership of productive assets, land and enterprises. Welfare spending, moral solidarity and expert administration do not by themselves abolish or privatize productive ownership.
Our Clerical Fascism definition includes “clergy in government, one party, faith militias and Christian corporations running the economy”. State coordination, regulation or expert direction qualifies market allocation; technical knowledge alone does not require comprehensive planning.
Our Clerical Fascism model centers on nation consecrated by the Church, with clergy in government, one party, faith militias and Christian corporations running the economy. That core does not specify cross-border trade, capital flows and economic integration. Domestic market freedom and international cultural solidarity are different claims from a free-trade policy.
The definition places Catholic or Christian authority within the proposed corporatist national order; clerical-fascist cases go further by placing clergy in government. The religious direction concerns public institutions and their justification, not merely the followers' personal faith, and the named national movements are not interchangeable.
Our Clerical Fascism model centers on nation consecrated by the Church, with clergy in government, one party, faith militias and Christian corporations running the economy. That core does not specify public attitudes toward inherited customs, family, gender and social change. Economic redistribution, technological novelty and a religious affiliation do not uniquely determine every moral position.
Our Clerical Fascism model centers on nation consecrated by the Church, with clergy in government, one party, faith militias and Christian corporations running the economy. That core does not specify the priority given to technological transformation versus ecological or bodily limits. Historical age, rural life and scientific reasoning do not by themselves establish acceptance or rejection of all technology.
