Why are clerics not held to their domains the same way paladins are held to their oaths? You'd think if you spend your entire life exemplifying an ideal of your god/belief (the domain) should you not live in accord with it to ensure you can access it's power?
Clerics are servants, Paladins are paragons.

Clerics are casters, so the devs suck their dicks and bend over backwards to make their lives easier. Paladins, even if they can also cast some spells, have the stink of martials about them. This means their faces get pushed in the mud the same as the rest of the martials.

They are, it just so happens that a Paladin's oath is far more binding than a Cleric's faith.

This describes 'Paladin', though. Not 'Cleric'.

Paladins lack the wisdom to get a proper contract.
