This smacks of bashing them for getting out of their place. I'll tell you just where it comes from. I did a lot of organizational development work once upon a time. One of the basic notions in functional structuring is to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of a function and not mix functionality in a way that compromises either. For example, you don't take the police internal affairs function and locate it under the chief of detectives. It would be a disservice to the internal affairs function because it would lose both integrity and effectiveness. Imagine if the Catholic church got into various businesses, maybe body shops or aluminum siding and pizza and the manufacture of baseball bats. Do you really think you can get the best soul-saving and the best pizza that way? It's not in the best interests of the Church or the pizza business or the community for that to happen. Charity work is within the appropriate scope of a religious institution. Saving souls and running businesses are not compatible functions. It's not a put-down of either the Church or the pizzeria to say that. Nor is it hostile to either.
