Collective term for religious persons

[vic_vega66]

I'm tagging posts for a comm on LiveJournal and I need a term or a noun or a short description for religious persons ie: monks, nuns, priests, fathers, vicars, imans, etc etc that covers all faiths. The best I've come up with is 'religious persons' which doesn't seem right at all, in fact it sounds rather lame. I seem to remember there is a French term, 'religous' (apologies for the spelling) which might work, but then again might not as memory is now telling me could refer to nuns *sigh*

Any ideas??

Not sure what to tag this as.
