"Just Good Business"?
The phrase "It's just good business" is often used to excuse an act or practice that, when examined critically, could scarcely be called Christian. The companion phrase "Sorry, it's just not good business" is also used by businessmen as a valid reason for refusing to act in a Christian manner to their suppliers, customers, competitors, or employees. ... In such matters, the Church continues to look upon itself and not out upon the world. A large percentage of its members, when they enter its portals, check an important part of their lives in the cloakroom.
