Why was page Christian fascism (that existed for years), redirected to page Christofascism? Term "Christian fascism" is almost old as term "Fascism" itself, and it was in common use since before the Second World War. On the other hand, term "Christofascism" was coined much later (1970) and there we have a problem : some authors are using term "Christofascism" as synonymous to "Christian fascism", while other authors are using the same term in narrower sense, for describing the views of Dorothee Sölle. In its present form, page Christofascism is dedicated to views of Dorothee Sölle. If that is so, then we should restore a separate page that would be dedicated to the phenomenon of Christian fascism in all of its historical, political and religious complexity.

Most commenters could not correctly define fascism, it seems. Additionally, there’s little development of this term Christian fascism. Fascism in Christianity? Christians who are or were fascist? Fascism altered by Christianity? This article truly should be deleted if it cannot be improved. 2601:1C0:6C03:3760:9851:DBD1:88B4:6884 (talk) 02:42, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. The page says it is a far right ideology, but does not explain what that ideology is. The opening paragraph says its the intersection between Christianity and Fascism, but goes no further. The next segment goes straight into commentary on why it's a bad idea, without defining what views the proponents actually hold. Timzog (talk) 02:24, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
