English term

then as an aside

English to Portuguese Social Sciences Government / Politics eleições, política, religião
As relatively civically engaged opinion
leaders, most clergy were certainly aware of the electoral codes, which are
explained in mainstream media outlets. In all my discussions with clergy,
though, I only once heard a religious leader refer to the electoral code as
a reason to avoid candidate endorsements, and then as an aside. While it is
possible that the electoral code discourages clergy campaigning on the margins,
it is certainly not a full explanation for clergy reluctance to endorse candidates.
I suspect that the electoral codes are more likely to reflect prevailing social
norms regarding clergy campaigning than to shape those norms.

O autor ouviu APENAS esse religious leader falando isso e, ainda assim, ele só falou extraoficialmente.
