As a lifelong Protesant, I must say I agree with this statement.
One by one, Protestant denominations are abandoning the biblical standards regarding human sexuality. I happen to have done quite a bit of writing on this subject; a decade ago I was still able to report that no major Protestant denomination had formally changed their standards regarding homosexuality. Regrettably, in the past decade several major Protestant denominations have "caved" in to those whose goal is the destruction of Christian morality.
Whatever you think of the Catholic Church, it must be admitted that they have stood firm regarding issues of sexual morality, when increasing numbers of their Protestant brothers are wavering.
Of course there have been problems with individual priests. However, the numbers are an extremely low percentage of the total number of priests, and their behavior has never been condoned by the Church.
I find it amusing to see my fellow Protestants bring up the priest abuse issue, as though Protestant churches are immune to such problems. There is a very long list of Protestant/Evangelical/Charismatic/Pentecostal pastors who have fallen into homosexual or heterosexual sin.
The youth pastor at a very large Evangelical church which I attended for many years committed suicide after he was exposed for abusing young boys in the church. Does this mean that all Protestant Evangelical churches are morally corrupt? Of course not. Neither do the highly-publicized priest abuse cases justify a blanket condemnation of the Catholic Church.
The problem seems to be with the Mainline Protestant churches. They are the ones that are caving (Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopalian, some Baptists). They are also the ones losing numbers. Many in the Catholic church support homosexuality even if the church officially does not. FWIW, these denoms were also the first ones to ‘cave’ in the area of authority of the Bible.
The Evangelical churches, and Pentecostal groups (with rare exceptions) are growing and growing fast. Many ppl are moving from the Mainline protestant groups to Evangelical churches and their numbers are growing because they do not compromise on moral and biblical issues.
So, just as you cannot lump all Catholic priests into being pedophiles, you cannot lump all protestant churches into compromising the bible and abandoning Biblical teachings.
And, Ben, I know more Catholics (practicing) who support birth control and abortion than I do Evangelicals...just sayin’.
