我们使用罗马天主教神父全国调查的数据来评估神职人员的政治活动动态。与利益集团和其他世俗政治机构中的精英同行一样，神职人员在决定如何在关键政治问题上公开采取行动时，会遇到竞争主体的期望和要求。基于数十年神职人员政治学术的见解，我们通过研究天主教神父对当地教区财务和教区主教期望的看法如何影响他们所报道的政治行动，利用基于校长的影响力的新视角。我们的研究结果与教区和主教负责人制约神父政治行为、控制神父意识形态的观点是一致的。然而，事实证明，牧师的政治行动对教区的财务问题比主教的鼓励更敏感。
We assess clergy political activism dynamics using data from a national survey of Roman Catholic priests. Like their elite counterparts in interest groups and other secular political institutions, clergy encounter expectations and demands from competing principals when determining how to publicly act on key political issues. Building on insights from decades of clergy politics scholarship, we leverage new perspectives of principal-based influence by examining how Catholic priest perception of both local parish finances and diocesan bishop expectations affect their reported political actions. Our findings are consistent with the notion that parish and bishop principals condition priest political behavior, controlling for priest ideology. However, priest political action proves more sensitive to parish financial concerns than bishop encouragement.
