I'd say those clergy who do lead souls to destruction are not beyond killing bodies as well.

It is very, very rare. I can't think of any cases in the US where it was proven in court. I can't think offhand of any cases like that anywhere. I can't remember the details of the recent case in South America.

I do believe one or two have been suspects, but they never could come up with sufficient evidence to press charges.

I agree it is not a frequent occurance.

Just 2 recent cases come to mind, happened in the US.

2002 case -- Franciscan admits to killing priest, setting fire

2000 case -- Monk confesses to murder of nun in Kendall area
