      Christian democracy is perfectly liberal. But of course a liberal cannot find that liberalism itself is the problem.

      that's literally the point of the article... did you even try to read it? "This intrinsic hostility towards democracy has made Christianity and liberalism unlikely bedfellows. Christian democracy, then, represented the European way of liberalism. Politically, both have worked to tame and present a new version of democracy much more restrained in limits, goals, and possibilities."
