Greetings,
In the section referenced (BoP p.70), the statement says that "If a Priest
regent opposes an action of the Ruler he may apply...."
That certainly implies that it is meant to apply only to cases other than
a Theocracy. Additionally, there is a separate entry regarding Theocracies
that lists the benefits of being a landed Regent as well as holding the
Temple domains... where this benefit does not appear.
Hope that helps....
