The thing you have to keep in mind is that the witches as well as the archbishops exemplify human traits. the 'traits' themselves are not evil or good per se. Wrath can be righteous and just, as well as it can be destructive and bad. The same is true for all other 'traits'.

Minerva isn't a 'good girl', she takes her wrath to the extreme and even though she heals people (by punching) there's a cost to that.. and she's unilaterally deciding the cost is worth it, but the question is whether that's her call to make.

Think about social securities like healthcare or unemployment benefits or other such social policies. You might think they're 'good'.. but that's not the case. The money to fund them has to come from somewhere and the people paying the taxes to support such policies might not approve of their tax money being spent on such things. The trick is balance. If there's no cost to failure, people won't mind failing at all and they won't strive to succeed and society collapses. If there's no reward to success and all your gains are taken from you (over taxation) then you won't want to succeed at all and society collapses. On the other hand, if no 'humanitarian' social aid policies exist at all, your society becomes a very cold and harsh place. Everybody stumbles or makes mistakes.. however in such a society without any social securities such a single mistake or stumble could/would ruin your entire life, severely putting a damper on the potential of people as well as overall success and happiness rates.

A society without meritocracy and justice is a lawless hellhole filled with corruption and with no heart. A society without social benefits is a cold and sterile place where people are just a number in 'the machine' and life isn't worth living.

You see this also in the dimorphism evident in human males and females. The males tend to be more just and meritocratic whereas the females tend to be more caring and loving. This is nature's way of telling us that optimal survival characteristics for a/our species relies on those 2 'opposites' working together and striving a balance. It's briliant when you think about it: in order to reproduce and thrive men and women, despite being different in this way, have to co-operate and co-exist with eachother and compromise.
