Currently the law prevents them from participating in “partisan” politics. Legally they’re still allowed to comment, and preach against issues they’re against. They just can’t align their churches with political parties officially, or while in their official roles as ministers endorse, or denounce individual political candidates on the basis of partisan politics. They’re still free to endorse, or denounce on the basis of individual issues so long as it doesn’t officially become partisan. That’s about it. The limitations on them regarding political speech are over stated.

They aren't *supposed* to, but they do, and the IRS does nothing to stop them.
