* The "The Mortification of the Flesh" arc in ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' centers around a special room in the Vatican that's been warded off from God's sight, so clergy can satiate their lust there. One particular visitor, Father Grimaldi, claims it's to better understand sin so they can be more faithful, but John sets it straight that it was started because Pope Alexander VI just wanted a place where he could molest little boys.

* Benkei Musashibo from the ''New Getter Robo'' version of ''Manga/GetterRobo'' is a former bandit who gave up stealing, fighting, drinking and seducing/raping women after being touched by the kindness and wisdom of a remote mountain temple's Buddhist monks.

When the temple is slaughtered by the {{oni}}, he joins the Getter Robo team for revenge, and his "monk" status becomes more or less non-existent.

* Ironically, the Catholic Church didn't formally mandate celibacy for priests until 1095, and it was a scheme to raise funds for the Church; Pope Urban II used it to introduce the ''callagium'', which was in effect a tax on priests based on how many mistresses they had. It backfired; homosexual activity skyrocketed in the Church as a direct result, because priests didn't have to pay for any male lovers.
