This has been the year of the Hot Priest on TV. While we are certain that Amazon’s “Fleabag,” CBS’s new series “Evil” and Showtime’s “City on a Hill” were all conceived independently, they have one thing in common: a canoodle-worthy clergyman.

Ireland’s Andrew Scott plays the Priest on “Fleabag,” which just won six Emmy Awards, showing a man fighting off the advances of an amorous parishioner — until they could be fought off no more.

So popular was “Fleabag” that the creators of “Evil,” Michelle and Robert King, have written the word, as the verb “fleabagging,” into the script of an upcoming episode. On their series, Mike Colter plays David Acosta, a seminarian who works with a psychologist (Katja Herbers) to investigate the church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries.

Finally, we have Father Doyle of “City on a Hill,” a winsome soul with a killer bedside manner. Northern Ireland’s Mark Ryder brought great comfort to the unhappy wife (Jill Hennessy) of a corrupt FBI agent (Kevin Bacon).
