Abstract

This article presents a brief political-conceptual history of how 'Judeo-Christianity" and "Christian democracy" became a rhetorical meeting ground for radical conservatives across the Atlantic. But it also sheds light on why deep historical and ethnographic divides beneath, make those grounds highly unstable terrain. Beneath the slogans of Christian democracy espoused in such disparate contexts as Charlottesville and Budapest, move different legacies, memories, enemies.
