All Christian personality cults, from Jim Jones to Harold Camping and everything in between, are a debasement of Christianity.
Once you stop preaching what Jesus said and start preaching your own personal special knowledge, you are debasing Christianity.
I would agree. Of course, I would also include under that umbrella all the unscriptural stuff that Catholicism teaches that is not found in scripture, or which is flatly contradicted by scripture.

You are spot on!! Well said.

Totally true. Unfortunately, there is a lot of that going on.
