Early Protestants had the advantage of being smaller organizations than the Catholics and thus less susceptible to the corruptions that plague large, powerful organizations. Once the Protestant denominations became large and wealthy they, IMHO, have become more susceptible to the predations of corrupt leaders than the Catholics. Saving grace for the Protestants is that they can always split away and form a different, less corrupt organization.

Currently large numbers of Latino Catholics are leaving Catholicism for Evangelicalism and Pentecostalism.
