Catholic AnswerIn the monastery, this is known as recreation (not "fun"). Recreation is a break from prayer and studies where one usually does something physical like exercise (walking, for instance) or relaxing (like conversation). The secular clergy (non-Religious clergy who are ordained for the diocese) are not bound by religious promises or vows (other than obedience to their Bishop and chastity) and thus are not limited to group recreation, their recreation would be entirely individual depending on what the individual was interested in.
