Verano, I think you're comparing apples and oranges. Dressing up as a race is offensive is because it plays on stereotypes. The costumes here aren't doing that at all--they're pretty straightforward representations of a monk, a nun, and the pope. I fail to see how dressing as a member of the clergy could be offensive, unless you're specifically looking for such an offense.

If anything, the creators of the costumes should be given some big props for their creativity...not every little girl wants of be Minnie Mouse or a princess, and not every little girl's parents want them to play into stereotypical "girl" dress-up roles.
