There seems to be two possible solutions to this issue.

A) Players can't be High Priests.

or 

B) If a player is in a position of Power, there needs to be an immediate 
second in command who is not a player character that a GM may use.


I prefer B, but it requires more work.  If a player isn't there, then 
his character shouldn't be used.  But if the player is in charge of 
something important, and immediate events demand a descision then there 
needs to be someone who can act and do so under GM control.
