Church = Spiritual
State = Political
It's like mixing oil and water. It's quite impossible but only in the Philippines is where we can say it is a special case. Nowhere in the world except in the Philippines where clergymen are also virtual senators and representatives. The Iraq debacle is still a very emotional issue in the US and UK but their religious groups wouldn't touch about it just to exemplify. They don't take it into the streets and destabilize their governments.
Only in the Philippines, yes only in the Philippines where we are very unique. Sometimes I am thinking of inviting the CBCP that instead of the fundamental law of the Land which is our constitution, why not just use a religious law to make it perfect. Akin to canon law perhaps like Islamic countries having their sharia.
