The term "theocracy" comes from the ancient Greek (θεοκρατία ''theokratía'') and means "rule of God". In accordance with this definition, the government of the Holy Land legitimizes its rule by appealing to the Divine Will and the authority of the Holy See, which, within Catholic ecclesiology, acts as the highest magisterial instance on behalf of Jesus Christ, overseeing and guarding the flock of Christ. Consequently, the separation between state and religion is largely dissolved in the Holy Land: The government leads the state not only politically, but also religiously. The legislature, judiciary and executive branches of government are based on and guided by the principles of Catholic moral theology as well as the Canon Law of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. Consequently, the Holy Land aims to impose the Christian religion as its state ideology in order to achieve the absolute reign of Christ. | The term "[[wikipedia:Theocracy|theocracy]]" comes from the ancient Greek (θεοκρατία ''theokratía'') and means "rule of God".
