The rulebook's example in the contest action has two holdings of the same type competing. Is it just an example or is it specifically prohibited to have a temple contest the law of the land? Also, if it is just an example (and so a temple can contest a law) is it the same for sources too, can a temple holding contest a source holding?
Short and to the point answers with some minimal explanation would be most appreciated.

Yes, just an example, no, not prohibited, so a temple can contest a law
holding.

I would rule no for my game, but I don`t think there`s anything
specifically prohibited about it. But law, temple, and guild holdings
fall into the same general category in my mind, of organizations of people
and facilities loyal to the regent, and sources don`t fit in there. I`d
allow them to affect each other and not sources in this way.

This is an interesting question.
Why should not a powerful guild, law or temple ruler be able to interfere with a province's source holders?
Well, I think they should, but the Contest action probably isn't very appropriate. The "mundane" regents must seek out other ways to harm the source holders. Perhpas through military occupation, adventures, or divine realm magic. But not through the contest action.
The same applies the other way around. Source holdings should not be able to contest other holding types, for the same reasons.
Alternatively, one might use the "domain actions allowed based on source level" table. Perhaps a powerful source holder, could indeed use his holding to contest other holding types, just as he can now create trade routes. Just a thought.

Thank you both. I am of the same opinion as Dan McSorley is, but I needed a second opinion to be sure I am headed the right path...
