Political sermons are probably more common in poorer countries, I imagine. I'm from a poorer country and the Catholic masses I used to attend would have priests talk about social justice. I don't recall the priests singling out any particular politicians or groups but we all know who they are talking about. Maybe in the past, priests were more direct in criticism. The liberation theology movement in the latter half of the 20th century was instrumental in toppling many dictatorships. I think there were couple of Catholic priests who were assassinated for voicing out against dictators in Latin America.

I am from a poor country. Here, politics is never discussed in sermons. Sermons are either around Bible passages or some charismatic church talking about their miracles. Maybe cuz Christianity is a minority where I live and also there are state regulations. Although today's Christian youth where I live are inspired from American pastors so they have weird stances too like believing in conspiracy theories, hatred against Muslims, and etc. And also most of Christians are very poor like laborers, working in gutters, or doing very menial jobs and victim of forced conversions and discrimination, so there is barely any chance that sermons can be political. Many churches, after Oct 7, have stopped reading those psalms that mention Israel in order to avoid misunderstandings.
