What is the point of instant travel? Why is it integral to the priest game?

Medieval priests whose primary concern was the priesthood still took up arms. It was not their primary function, but they did not stop being a priest; Adhemar le Puy did not stop being a Bishop and become Sir Adhemar while on Crusade.

Because nerfing the priest class EVEN MORE and removing basically its #1 perk would be lame.

Plus, Priest/Diplomat is a way more common Medieval trope than Priest/Warrior, and so incentivization Priest/Diplomat makes way more sense than incentivizing Priest/Warrior, and fast travel is a super big incentive for that.
