It is a fact that preachers must be free to speak about anything.
As mentioned in a previous post, they are following the example of their religion: Jeremiah, Isaiah, Amos, Hosea, other prophets, John the Baptist, Jesus, etc.
Down through history it remains true: Luther, Hus, Wickliffe, Assissi, etc.
It is my religion to say from the pulpit: "Abortion is Sin because it's murder. John Kerry supports abortion. Don't support John Kerry."
Jesus would say far more cutting than that. He'd tell John Kerry a parable about a rich, inconsiderate guy that ended up in the burning fire of hell.
They can be. If they wish to engage in political activity, they can simply separate that from their tax-exempt activities like the NRA does.
