Yes, but is that a question of game mechanics (in that it's available to WHM players and is harmful) or is it actually an instance where they literally have access to what has traditionally been one of the most powerful spells in a White Mage's arsenal? (This is the only game I've seen where it's treated as a run-of-the-mill spell instead of something on the level of, say, Meteor for a Black Mage.)
The only time we see Holy used in-game, as far as I know (someone correct me if I'm wrong here!), by a "White Mage" is in Lost City of Amdapor HM. And even then, it's "Ancient Holy." We never see the Padjal - who are the only active White Mages beyond the Warrior of Light - even reference Holy. So, to me, that says it's probably a game mechanics thing that we even have the spell on our bars.
