Your point was that clergy are pious?

The point is that many clergy are self-righteous not righteous. They tend to be wolves, not shepherds. I know from personal experience. For many modern protestant clergy the saying of the president of Gettysburg Seminary is apropos: “Those that can do, those that can't do teach, and for those that can neither do nor teach, God created the sheltered workshop called the ministry.”
