Ouch.
I bet that either came from the priest himself, or much more likely from the arch bishop running the dioscese. I wonder how common that was/is.
While looking up info on priests who do this sort of thing, I have found a website held by the Diocese of Las Cruces New Mexico. They quote a slew of pertinent Church doctrine as well as the Government laws on this issue.
A church that does endorse a politician risks losing tax exempt status.
