I didn't say "shouldn't be allowed to," i said, "shouldn't." I'm not trying to repress freedom of speech, i'm trying to say that religious figures should avoid becoming invested in particular earthly political causes, for while it can have good benefits sometimes (like the southern churches that helped push Civil Rights in the '60s), ultimately it's distracting from the mission, because as the political class grows aware of religion's usefulness, they will work to twist it to their own ends (sometimes being objectively good ends, yes, but it works dangerously on the matter of faith)

It's hard to argue they shouldn't be involved in certain political causes when they view those political causes are vitally important to their spirtual causes.

I don't think it would be that hard for them to advocate certain causes in a non-partisan way. If their views happen to match the views of one party, so be it, but no endorsements, no consultation on legislation, etc.
