A leaflet from Commandant Cathal Ashbourne Loftus who is running for The Christian Solidarity Party in Ashbourne for a seat on Meath County Council.
I’d presume he changed his name from Cathal Loftus to Commandant Cathal Ashbourne Loftus to be higher up the ballot paper.
Many thanks to the sender.
An interesting ad in the April edition of Alive! from The Christian Solidarity Party asking voters to vote for Ben Gilroy of Direct Democracy Ireland.

Richard Greene is the leader of the Christain Solidarity Party. A former Green Party Councillor he was involved in a party Muintir na hÉireann and has run as an Independent Pro Life candidate also.
DDI would like to make it clear that the CSP is a COMPLETE separate organisation with COMPLETE separate people running it. Separate religious agenda – where DDI has complete none – TOTALLY SEPARATE people running it’s rules and constitution and separate founders. Separate headquarters and again separate head-office location.

From Spring 2011 ‘Dóchas’ a Newsletter from the Christian Solidarity Party. I’ve uploaded it in pdf HERE or click on the image below to launch.
A few quotes from the newsletter.
On that note Daire Fitsgerald, our Candidate in the most liberal constituency in the country got 434 first preferences, did very well on the RTÉ Frontline programme and I believe his campaign in that constituency was instrumental in preventing Ivana Bacik from getting elected.
For the first time this century our party’s vote has not fallen, it has risen. Not only has it risen beyond the vote received in the 2007 general election, it has risen beyond the percentage of the vote received when the pro-life vote collapsed in 2002. Over-all our vote increased by more than 23%. For every 4 votes we received in 2007 we received almost 5 in 2011. Our share of the contested vote was even more impressive with an increase of 30% from 0.42% of the vote to 0.55%.
A 1996 leaflet from the Christian Solidarity Party with the title “Born in the 90s for the next Millennium”.
The leaflet attacks the Rainbow government, The Democratic Left, Fine Gael, Fianna Fail, Labour and the PDs. All of which had been in government at some stage over the previous ten years.
“The CSP question and will continue to question how Ireland has benefited from the raft of jaded ideologically driven anti-social and anti-family legislation which the political parties , in and out of office, have rail roaded through the houses of the Oireachtas”
The CSP fielded 8 candidates in the 1997 General Election of which 5 polled over 1,000 votes.
An unusual flyer this from 2011 Dublin South candidate Jane Murphy in that you have the candidate running for The CSP and also promoting another Party Direct Democracy Ireland. Oddly enough Raymond Whitehead also stood for Direct Democracy Ireland in Dublin South.
Jane Murphy polled 277 votes
DDI would like to make it clear that the CSP is a COMPLETE separate organisation with COMPLETE separate people running it. Separate religious agenda – where DDI has complete none – TOTALLY SEPARATE people running it’s rules and constitution and separate founders.

From the 2011 General Election campaign a Leaflet from Manus MacMeanmain of The Christian Solidarity Party running in Meath West. Amongst other themes we have the CSP attack the bailout, State money being given to The Irish Family Planning Association and the media.
From the 2011 General Election campaign a newspaper ad for An Ad for Christian Solidarity Party candidate Daire Fitzgerald running in Dun Laoghaire.
From around 1997 A Christian Solidarity Party Manifesto containing “specific proposals in Summary form”.
At that time, led by Gerard Casey (who polled 2000 votes in the 1997 Election in Dun Laoghaire) the policies here seemed reasonable enough especially compared to some of their later material.

There were arguments about if it was covered or not by the various Abortion Referenda. Where it was seen by many as a contraceptive it was thought of by Pro Life lobby as an ‘Abortion Pill’.
In Light of the Civil Partnership Bill pssing in the Dail, a leaflet from Paul O’Loughlin of The Christian Solidarity Party who were opposed to the Bill. Indeed Paul O’Loughlin could be seen protesting outside the Dail on the issue.
