As near as I can tell, the quotes are direct extracts from an mail or email communication between Apple and the Manhattan people. The document, to my knowledge, is not yet public other than those quotes.
Apple's statement amounts to the charge that our faith is "potentially harmful to others."
I guess I would like to see Apple's statement. Maybe there is some sort of confidentiality clause that only allows them to excerpt, or maybe Apple isn't disparaging the complete 'faith'.
That said, I have more faith in Chuck Colson than Apple. I just don't understand why the statement hasn't been released. Or it has been released and is just a 'form letter'.
After further looking, I found a couple articles from late 2008 that talked about non-disclosure of app rejection letters, so maybe these small excerpts are all that is allowed.
