Barely a week goes by without someone from the clergy giving his opinion that the government should do this or that.
The Pope affiliated with the world rulers.
Where in the Bible did Jesus ever give an opinion to Ceasar rulership? Jesus concentrated solely on Godly matters.
Why try and influence a world who's king right now is Satan?
1 John 5:19 and 2 Corinthian 4:4 say that Satan is the ruler at least until God's Day of Judgement.
Satan even offered Jesus the world's kingdoms!
It confuses me that religious leaders are involved with the world that Jesus said be no part of.

Angeltress but you are voting for worldly rulership that is influenced by Satan.
Satan is the authority of the air of this world - Ephesians 2:2

It is obvious that many are not on the narrow road that leads to salvation.

Joh 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
While I do see your point, it is also true that as long as Christians live in this world, even though we are not "of the world" we do have a responsibility to the world.
We must each of us do what we can, at least in our small corner of the world we live in, to try to defeat Satan's purposes.
While it is not likely that any world leader is going to ask li'l old me for advice any time soon...I still have a responsibility to vote my conscience, and to speak my mind on matters that affect my faith...
And so do you.
As for these religious leaders you are so concerned about, remember this...God will hold them to a higher standard than he does the politicians they are advising, since they are claiming to speak for Him.
As He will each of us that calls him/herself a Christian...

I think you misunderstand what Jesus taught, dear one. He said to live IN the world, but not OF the world. That means to not put all your interest and trust in the world, though you have to live in the world and have to get along in it - politically and otherwise.
God bless!

Religion and power are uncomfortable twins.
