I can't really find a better way to phrase it, but I could see an excess of empathy leading to some toxic behaviors. my SiL frequently goes to a church where people "give 'till it hurts" and then next week is the one begging people to help. because they gave away all their savings the week before, and now can't afford the medical procedure they got lined up next week.
The issue here is that a little financial responsibility would have saved everyone from being in that position in the first place. collectively, the issue is they have no impulse control and a priest taking advantage of it.
