Actually, no. The priest's siblings and the decendants of those siblings got a boost from being related to a priest. The same is true of families with a daughter who became a nun.

Also, the relatives who now find themselves with a member of a church in their immediate circle will feel a much higher pressure to have a lot of kids, as per the catholic doctrine.

It really is about inclusive fitness.

No it ain't. Catholicism wasn't universal in EEA.
