Oh, I see. No, it was more the other way around, they were under the orders of the secular Republic and often did things that were against their religious or philosophical preferences as a result (generally with a sort of "lesser evil" reasoning for helping preserve the Republic, IIRC).
The peak of Jedi influence on politics was more than a thousand years prior to the events of the Clone Wars AFAIK. By the time of the Clone Wars they were largely stripped of political agency within the Republic and treated as a tool to be used by the government and not a religious order or an independent political power.
