Can you explain what you mean by social/moral status? I haven't seen a big run of non-profit workers marrying movie stars or becoming Pope.

Isn't the Pope like the canonical high-status non-profit worker?
Yes, however, my point is that the vast majority of people working for non-profits do not receive that sort of recognition. So what does "social status" mean?
Yes, but notice that the pope gets paid very well
I thought the pope doesn't receive a salary?
That's right, my bad, I just meant that he's clearly doing just fine but said something very wrong instead
