Darn few Protestant ministers have more than a Bachelors degree. Catholic Priests are required to have a Masters of Divinity degree. What are the requires to start a New Protestant denomination? Since there are over 30,000 I guess they aren't that strict.
You really want to go pointing fingers at the clergy of other denominations?
If I painted the Roman church with the same broad brush you painted all the other denominations, I’d say you ought to never leave your kids alone for 5 seconds with any priest.
You really wannna go there? Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggert. Google "Baptist Predators" , "Protestant minister scandals" and "Protestant Minister abuse"
I think you need to get the log out of your own eye before taking shots at the Catholic Church.
I’ve been saying for years...being a catholic, a boy scout leader, a teacher, a minister, a clown - doesn’t make a person a predator. Rather, people with those inclinations are naturally drawn to that type of work, knowing they will have access to children.
We have seen for years, “if only priests were allowed to marry....blah blah blah”
Time after time, we see married ministers,married teachers, and now “well respected” married athletic coaches being outed for what they really are.
It would be nice to see christians tackling this problem in unison, rather than pretending that only those folks “over there” need to worry about it wouldn’t it?
Many protestant preachers have NO religious training or divinity degrees. Some are just merely elected by the congregants because they allegedly know the Bible
