This song definitely isn't calling out one person or even one religion for that matter. Pete references the Pope, rabbis, priests and mullahs. Its more calling BS on the people that say you need to go through them to talk to God.
In fact Pete is right. The clergy are people just like us, and like us are flawed. Just because they wear the robes, hats, etc, it doesn't mean they are any less flawed than the rest of us. Long story short he's saying, Why do I need to go to somebody who is just as flawed as I am to talk to God?
