State and Church both have their own responsibilities. That, following Jesus’ teaching, the Church has an opinion about everything is not the result of nosy meddling, but of genuine care for the present and future wellbeing of all! The earth we know will come to an end one day, and with it the power of the state. God’s rule is for eternity.
Church leaders can help you choose in conscience, but cannot tell you whom to vote for. You have a duty to ‘inform your conscience’: to prepare yourself so that you can vote in the best way. You are free to have your own opinions and can disagree with the government. You will still have to follow its rules, though, unless these go against fundamental Christian principles.
