Answer from a CatholicThe Church, Itself, does not normally involve itself in politics outside of a clear and present threat to morals. For instance, in the 2012 election in the United States where the government in power is supporting a law trying to force Catholics and Catholic owned charities, schools, etc. to pay for insurance policies that cover abortion and contraception - a clear violation of infallible Church teaching. In the Canadian rebellions, the Church took no stand, although numerous, individual priests in Lower Canada who were very conservative too the stand for the status quo and against insurrection against the government in power. They were entirely within their individual rights to do so, for their own reasons, but they could not take a stand for the Church.
