The comments to this facebook post got me annoyed.

The Pentecostals The Pope has declared it "The Year of the Priest". I think we need to declare it the year of "Get your kids out of the parish until the Catholic Church will be honest about the pedophiles they have been hiding and providing cover to."
my answer
Erik Webster The UPCI is a fellowship of churches so scandals stay at a church level typically. The RCC is a top down setup so everyone gets hit on every level from top to bottom. There are a billion catholics and out of that there are some deeply flawed humans in that group. We should applaud the RCC for trying to get rid of priests that do that. But to tar their entire denomination is unfair since it is a very very very small group. There is abuse in the UPCI too and it has had its share of scandals, adultry, and homosexuality (even if its kept very quiet among the ministers when its dealt with).
The major difference is that the RCC is a bigger target as to where our group is able to deal with things on a sectional or district basis.
Besides... any group that has a website
www.spiritualabuse.org dedicated to it among others has few stones to throw towards fellow Christians even if we don't see things in the same light. I am oneness apostolic and will be the first to say we need to clean out our house also.
I am sure I'll catch some fire from the sheeple among that 5000+ subscribers to that group.
