First, I know what it means, I just find it strange that you mention theologians instead of priests.

I would use the term to differentiate from those who are merely uninformed pontificators. I would say one difference would be that theologians are seekers of truth and knowledge, while someone like Pat Robertson seeks to obfuscate and confuse people enough to send him money. He's more like a rock star, seeking fans and groupies.

You have the same problem in politics. Most politicians these days are not motivated by the opportunity to serve and represent the people. They also lie, obfuscate and confuse people enough to send them money and then vote for them.

In fact, "uninformed" is really the crux of the problem with both politics and religion.
