Actually, they are not. All priests, however, are magic-users, (specialized holy men within the Church), and all wizards and sorcerers are as well. Wizards = holy people within the organization of the Church, sorcerers = holy people outside the organization of the Church.
The nature of Malkionism is that the physical world is evil and corrupt, and interacting with it is evil and corrupt, to be avoided. Chastity follows the latter ideas. However, not everyone is expected to maintain such high morals, and the lower orders can get married, etc. Higher orders, however, require chastity to work their grimoires. Some require a 100% history of chastity.
