do you perceive some nefarious intent on the part of the Catholic church to take over US healthcare or something?

I don't know about an intent to take over US healthcare, broadly, but there sure is an intent to command certain healthcare policy. There is obviously an initiative in place to control access to certain medical treatments and religious control of hospitals is an effective way to accomplish that.

All this discussion of 'role in the community,' value-added, mixing functionality just seems like excuses to gripe to me. Now we have 'intent' appearing.

When one is trying to get a point across, it can be helpful to use different phrasing, different angles, in the hopes of finding one that will resonate. Role in the community, functionality, and intent are all about the same thing, just different ways of framing it. Added value is an economic concept, a discrete point.
