It's not atypical of later medieval Christian thought. The earlier theology (as I recall) was that fae,
et al. were not
evil (servants of the devil), but did not have
souls either.
Where that goes depends on the metaphysics you want. A thought that occurs to me is that while undead, etc., are powered by diabolic forces (and can be turned), blessings are actually something of a 'booster' to the soul, so they fey can neither be blessed nor turned (nor really affected by any 'divine' power). Which is exactly the type of thing to make theologians nervous in the same ways they were historically.
