EDIT: Ah, I see now - the first Advocate has their own MO too low. That would explain things. Error message should probably state that instead.
Don't like someone but can't be bothered to do the dirty work yourself? Hire RED!
Want something but can't be bothered making it yourself? Buy from PIMCO!
Subsequent changes should have removed the issue where this comes up - an Advocate who falls to nongood will lose all their blessings (though Relics they built will stay intact but empty).
