In “Catholic Social Activism – Real or Rad/Chic?”, Greeley saw the old social justice action in labor schools, labor priest, and community organizing that “mastered the politics of coalition building with the system.” Leading figures in that “old” tradition for Greeley were Ryan, Higgins, Egan and Baroni. On the other hand, the “new” Catholic action came out of the Berrigan experience and the peace movement and was heavily involved in confrontation and protest. The "new" tradition's lack of tangible success in comparison to the "old" tradition, Greeley scathingly predicted: "The old social actionists are largely men of action, doers, not talkers. The new social actionists are intellectuals...They are masters at manipulating words and sometimes ideas...They are fervent crusaders. [But] winning strikes, forming unions, organizing communities are not their 'things', they are much more concerned about creating world economic justice." However, although likewise distinguishing between historical and contemporary Catholic engagement, some scholars see the efficacy and potential of newer forms of Catholic activism. Christian Democratic Party in the United States Inspired by Christian Democratic parties and movements in South America and Europe, David Frost and Kirk Morrison along with others founded the Christian Democratic Party USA in 2011. In 2012, the name of the party was changed to the American Solidarity Party. The American Solidarity Party welcomed a growth in membership of voters who adhere to Catholic Social Teaching, but who could not find a "home" in either of the main parties. The principles of the American Solidarity Party were aligned with the even principles of Catholic Social Teaching. The party membership nominated Amir Azarvan and Mike Maturen to run as President and Vice President in the 2016 election. When Azarvan had to step down as presidential candidate, Maturen ran for the presidency while Juan Muñoz was selected to campaign as vice president. Through ranked-choice voting among members and party convention delegates, the American Solidarity Party chose Brian Carroll and Amar Patel to run a national campaign or the presidency and vice-presidency of the United States. Carroll and Patel achieved ballot access in 8 states, and registered write-in status in 25 others. In 2021, former Loyola Marymount University philosophy professor, James Hanink, was selected to run as the American Solidarity Party candidate to replace California Governor Gavin Newsom in the statewide recall election. The principles stated in the American Solidarity Party platform in 2021 covered: Sanctity of Life, Social Justice, Community-Oriented
