Like you said.

In the Catholic Church, at least theoretically, the priest plays second fiddle the Christ. In some charismatically led Evangelical churches, Sunday becomes an ego trip for the preacher who usurps the role of Christ and becomes the master rather than the servant.

A Catholic priest, by contrast, however, is supposed to be a faceless servant of Christ.

I just look at people like Benny Hinn, Jimmy Swaggart, Joel Osteen, TD Jakes, Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker, etc., it was all about them. Jesus was a prop in their Churches.

Hey, something I can agree with you on! At least to the extent that I can judge their fruits, but not their hearts, as only The LORD can do that. He knows each of these pastors perfectly, their faults and their strengths. These, I believe, are all strongly of the false Arminian persuasion, but that is a topic for another thread.
