There is certainly a distinction to be drawn between an announcement
of something or other [beforehand] and a minister or priest giving a
political sermon.

There were many, my family included, that quit the Southeast Florida
Diocese of the Episcopal Church in 1968-69 when its bishop called for
political, spiritual and monetary support for the Black Panthers.

Interesting that some of this exists to this day:

That wall of separation between church and state goes both ways. Any
American who complains about the alleged intrusion of religion into
Republican Party politics is a hypocrite if he cannot complain about
the intrusion of religion into the politics of the Democrat party,
most formidably demonstrated by the inability of Obama to denounce any
of the specifics of his religion's intrusion into politics that just
might be objectionable to white, color-blind, limited-government
oriented people of any Party.
