The Roman Catholic People's Party (in Dutch: "Roomsch-katholieke Volkspartij", RKVP) was a dutch catholic social political party. The RKVP played only a marginal role in Dutch politics.
Party History
The RKVP was founded in 1922 by Pius Arts. In the 1925 election the party won one seat which was taken by Aarts. In the 1929 election the party lost its one seat. In the 1933 election the party regained one seat. In same year the party merged with the Catholic Democratic League to form the Catholic Democratic Party. In 1937 this party merged with the Roman Catholic State Party, the larger, centrist, catholic party.
Ideology & Issues
The RKVP combined a conservative catholic stance on ethical issues with a progressive, leftwing stance on economic issues.
It advocated the interest of (catholic) workers; it wanted just taxation and a strong influence of labour unions in companies. It wanted to increase support for large families and government imposed limits on prices. The party was in favour of private ownership of houses and lower rents. It also supported national disarmament.
In ethical issues it was as conservative as the Roman Catholic State Party, the larger, centrist, catholic party. It advocated the re-institution of the envoy at the Holy See and an end to the ban on processions.
