Most of Burke's critics — Catholic and non-Catholic alike — are liberals. Many insist that "separation of church and state" means that no religious leader may presume to tell public officials what their positions may and may not be on matters of public policy.

Most of Burke's critics — Catholic and non-Catholic alike — are liberals. Many insist that "separation of church and state" means that no religious leader may presume to tell public officials what their positions may and may not be on matters of public policy.

That would be a violation of the priests free speech, and possibly the Catholic Church's right to free assembly, though I am not an expert in Constitutional Law.

But mark my words, someone will eventually sue the church for "violating their right to religious expression" because the church is keeping them out on account of an unrepentant sin. And who can doubt that they will find a sympathetic judge who wants to nail Christianity?
