Exactly what sort of repressive regeme do you want. One where no one and no institution may speak there mind. How do you think people would react if they said trade unions or moslems or any other group should keep there mouths shut. We live in a free society where we are free to express our beliefs. Supress one and you will have to supress everyone.
Like any other individual or institution the Church and its members have every right to speak its mind on political issues whether you agree with it or not. If it has an opinion it is entitiled to express it.
As for getting on with what they are supposed to do, well they are. I suggest you actually learn what the church is there for. When you do, you will find it is not just for weddings, baptisms and funerals. It is also there for speaking out against what it considers to be wrong and speaking for what it considers to be right. This will not change nor should it!
This is one of the many tasks given them by its founder. If people do not like it then its too bad.
