Are you still arguing !!!!
Personally ANY sexual abuse is wrong, why does it have to be a Protestant verse catholic thing - it doesn't matter who has committed more wrong, surely it's not about numbers, but about the issue itself.
It seems that the issue here is everyone trying to out do someone else so that they can stand on a platform and claim the prize of being right !
Think Jesus would bash your heads together for going on and on and on and on ...........

Butterfly, the war between Protestantism and Catholicism is more than just about child sex abuse - it's about the Antichrist of prophecy which resides in Rome carrying out Satan's end time plans.
Did you know that Catholic doctrine says that
Jesus didn't have to die for you to be forgiven? That the Father decided to forgive humanity based on the sinless life that Jesus would live out
apart from any necessity of a substitutionary death? BTW, that is straight up occult, New Age, Mormon, Freemason and other various societies, official doctrine. They HATE the idea of blood atonement as the foundation for forgiveness.
Did you know that Catholicism teaches if you want forgiveness,
you don't have to look to the DEATH of Jesus for it, all you need do is ask a priest?
Did you know that Catholicism teaches that, despite your being granted forgiveness for your sin,
YOU MUST PAY FOR IT IN PURGATORY? And that the merits of the good works of Jesus, Mary, the "saints", etc., are what you can obtain by your OWN good works (penance) to lessen your time in PURGATORY so that you can eventually go on to heaven? And that
the good works of Mary are MORE meritorious that that of Jesus' good works?
Did you know that if the priest, bishop, cardinal, or pope decides to not grant you the merits of Jesus, Mary, the saints, etc.
you are out of luck?
Did you know that Protestants are falling all over themselves to unite with Catholicism in recognizing the supremacy of the pope as "world spiritual leader" in the ecumenical movement,
despite these and other BLASPHEMOUS doctrines?
It simply boggles the mind how that although great Protestant men and women submitted to be BURNED ALIVE, BEHEADED, WATCHED THEIR CHILDREN MURDERED FOR THEIR PARENTS' REFUSAL TO RECANT BIBLE TRUTH, ETC., Christians not only couldn't care less about the reasons why, but have the nerve to throw up their hands in disgust why we all just don't get on with ecumenical uber love fest.
You are free to worship the false Jesus of the ecumenical movement with pope Jorge, Kenneth Copeland, Tony Palmer, etc., but it is at the peril of your own soul. Please don't criticize the rest of us who refuse to worship any Jesus but the One found in Scripture.
