Can a minister get the section 199a deduction?

Minister's wages are reported on form W-2 with no SS or Medicare withheld.  For schedule SE purposes he is considered self employed.  It seems like he should get the section 199a deduction

Not for minister's wages reported on W-2.  The minister is considered an employee with respect to wages reportable on a W-2 even though that same income is subject to SE tax.

If the minister has self-employment income from some other sources, that income may then qualify for §199A.
