No, we should not.
Pertaining to the U.S., every citizen, with the exception of those who hold felony records in the U.S., have a right to vote in all elections. Under democracies, the goal is to allow the people to vote for their leadership and which values they would like to see represented. If I recall correctly, Catholic politicians in the United States only hold 30% of all political offices. The majority are made up of Protestant politicians with a sprinkling of other faith traditions for all other positions. Forbidding someone to vote on a matter of religious founding violates an American citizen's right to practice freedom of religion. In fact, it violates what the Founding Father's intended when they created the country.

Did Peter want to recognize and associate himself with the politics of Corinth? Did Peter's visit to Corinth make him an accomplice to Diana's death blow? It's written that Saint Peter visited Corinth Greece where the temple of Diana stood but the temple of Diana was not properly the home of the goddess; it was but a shrine, the chief one, devoted to her service. She lived in nature. At that time, Greeks from all-walks-of-life worshipped the shrine. A lucrative trade was developed by the silversmiths in silver replicas of Diana. Diana was adored by businessmen and most likely local politicians as well. As the result of Paul’s powerful ministry in Ephesus, not only were curious arts and books of divination burned, but the silver shrine of Diana trade also received its death blow. From biblical and papal viewpoints, I concluded that if Catholics have a mindset similar to what Saint Peter had in Corinth and centuries later, on January 20-2020, the day Pope Francis urged bishops to view politics as a way of obtaining spiritual guidance then my answer is no.
