Most of these churches have different synods. I now belong to the Lutheran Church MISSOURI synod which has almost NOTHING in common with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

An excellent litmus test if a church is serious about God's word is if they belong to the National Council of Churches. If they do, they're left wing political organizations.

I would say that pedophilia and sex crimes seem to be endemic among both the Catholic and Protestant clergy. The Muslims seem to have institutionalized their own issues with sex crimes and rape especially in their dealings with “infidels”.

In short there are wolves among the shepherds who are feeding on their own flocks and the various Rams of the Christian Catholic,Orthodox and Protestant congregations need to arise to drive out these false shepherds, praying that God will appoint Godly men to lead us again! A major spiritual restructuring of God’s church is in order and when it happens, all three major traditions of Christian worship, Orthodox,Catholic and Protestant are going to have to do it “Christ’s way”.

The Spirit will show us the way for a threat is coming onto the world stage that will force Christians of the three traditions to seek God’s face and to co-operate with each other. The world’s governments have been hardening against all Christians and they also seek to put Israel in the crosshairs for destruction. In the name of tolerance as well as for economic issues, Islam has been allowed to place its foot on the world’s neck. Trouble is coming like we have not seen, yet the world will need bold men who preach the gospel at extreme risk for their lives to give those suffering in the spiritual darkness Hope in Him. Christ will make use of Christians who would have made strange bedfellows in “normal times” in terms of differences in worship style. Revelation suggests that multitudes will be killed in HIS name for the faith; yet in the end Christ will reign supreme and his Bride will be revealed resplendant in spiritual power and Holy Grace!
