ROOMS-KATHOLIEKE STAATS PARTIJ
- ROOMS-KATHOLIEKE STAATS PARTIJ
- (RKSP; ROMAN CATHOLIC STATE PARTY)
During the second half of the 19th century, religiouspolitical partiesemerged in opposition to the lib erals and the conservatives: the orthodox Protestants were united by Abraham Kuyper in the Antirevolutionaire Partij (
ARP) about 1870. Not until 1894 did Father Hermanus Schaepman, a member of Parliament, succeed in uniting the Roman Catholic politicians on a political program inspired by the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum. In 1926, the RKSP emerged, uniting the national association of Catholic constituencies and the Rooms-Katholieke Volkspartij (RKVP, Roman Catholic People’s Party), founded in 1922. In 1945, after World WarII, the RKSPwas reconstituted into the Katholieke Volkspartij (
KVP, Catholic People’s Party), which in 1973 merged with the Protestant parties into the Christen De mocratisch Appel (
CDA, Christian Democratic Appeal).
