During some/much Mediaeval era, clerics/priests had status under nobles but at some time perhaps above royal officials, so clerics (like Monica, Selana, etc.) might not only be seen as commoners, even if they come from a peasant/worker family. It could be considered something that makes them noble, but I'm not sure. At least in Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) roleplaying game (RPG) they have titles used for respect, similar to fighters/warriors who achieve rank of Lord/Lady. Later on, even The Pope (or others such as Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch in Greece and Eastern Europe and Hellenistic world) was higher than Kings because he appoints/crowns Kings (still done today by some churches in Europe/Britain including Anglican/Episcopal). So, I think clerics/priest(esse)s should sometimes/always in such games have a bit more status.
