Separation of church and state was made to protect the church. Measures must be taken to prevent an over controlling church, and a over controlling state

The Catholic church is a global religious institution that does not necessarily have the best interests of the United States and its (particularly non-Catholic) citizens in mind, and thus should not have any say in political decisions regardless of the First Amendment-- though the First Amendment would also dictate the separation of church and state.
