I think the view that the RCC is the 'worst' stems simply from the fact that they have 2,000 years of history, not 200 or 20 and that they have millions of members not thousands or hundreds or scores. It's simple multiplication, not being any worse. They also were around in much rougher times and places then some of the cushy religions of today.
To their credit they have carried the torch of Christ through time. Many tend to forget when they hold their precious Fox's Book of Martyrs that those saints were... Catholic.
I think the UPC would be mortified to find out exactly how much they share with Catholicism. I think that the RCC is a great example of 'But for the Grace of God go I." But I would never go so far as to deny that they are my brothers and sisters in Christ.

No the worse is because they have actually
KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE who disagree with their doctrines. I have never heard of one person being beheaded or drawn and quartered by Oneness believers. The Catholic martyrs you mention were killed
BY CATHOLICS because they disagreed with Catholic doctrine including the veneration of Mary.
