Nope. If they were then you would be like the UK. Where we failed to achieve the modernity of separating church and state. Instead our queen heads the state religion of which itself was involved in making laws, a constitutional arrangement that only Iran has decided to mimic. Unless you want a monarch to rule over you then your country should be an ecclesiastical or sacradotal state.

No, the Church should stay out of political affairs. However, the Church can and should give spiritual guidance to its membership so that they can make correct moral choices when it comes to elections and certain political issues such as abortion, homosexual marriage, stem cell research, and so forth. Unfortunately, most priests and bishops no longer give any spiritual guidance and prefer to avoid any issue that they see as even a little controversial. They are failures as shepherds.

"The road to Hell is paved with the bones of priests and monks, and the skulls of bishops are the lamp posts that light the path." - St. John Chrysostom
