It depends on what you mean by "work". By and large, clergy have not engaged in traditional labor, especially prior to the Enlightenment, when they lived on the sacrifices and tithes given to them by the congregations of the faithful and secular rulers. If you have a specific time and/or religion and/or region in mind, please resubmit the question specifying these factors.
