Interesting point. Religious leaders speaking on societal issues; why not?
Provided they dont create hatred between communities based on religion.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is well regarded when he goes and meets some Pakistanis
to broker peace. Baba Ramdev is well regarded when he speaks against
corruption.
So, if a priest speaks against the ills of society, it is fine.
Provided of course, he doesnt take a trishul or equivalent and go around
demolishing religious places of other religions, speak bad about other
religions etc etc.

Samir
