There are doozies in every denomination/church. Ted Haggard, Kenneth Copeland, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Baker, Benny Hinn, Jan Crouch to name a few.

This is not a moral equivalence situation. Protestant/Evangelical "leaders" can claim X number of followers, but not the leadership over a billion adherents internationally like the Vatican. Nor do the "reformed" folks maintain a magisterium and issue edicts, nor claim to be the only source of true interpretation, applicable to all. They typically don't claim to be the only true church as does the RCC; instead placing ultimate responsibility for knowing God, following Jesus' teachings, prayer, revelation, repentance and informed belief on the individual.
