א"ר יוחנן כל כהן שהרג את הנפש לא ישא את כפיו שנא' (ישעיהו א) ידיכם דמים מלאו --ברכות לב ב
The Zohar in Pinchas (221a) is משמע that it's a matter of the two being mutually exclusive, so that even in instances of killing as a mitzva (like that of Pinchas), כהונה and death cannot coincide... seemingly against the poskim in שלחן ערוך who seem to understand this as only pertaining to prohibited acts of killing that the kohen commits (and hence they discuss whether Teshuva would be מועיל to allow נשיאת כפיים)...
A: I'm wrong. The Zohar is speaking דווקא by כהן גדול, not כהן הדיוט.
