Is it the money? Is it their fear that if they get too assertive towards the politicians in their ranks, the church will lose its tax exempt status and thus suffer in donations?
The love of money is the root of all...

I don’t believe it is money. It is more a matter of tone in my opinion.
In the specific case of the Holy Father’s (whose spirituality and devotion to doing what is right for the Church is absolute and highly admirable), dealings with Pelosi, I felt her admonition should have been more palpable, public and overt. SOME Catholics here disagree with that assessment, so we have a little schism here of our own. LOL.
