“Some of them (FR Protestants) appear to be doing just that. I don’t recall ever seeing other FR Protestants rebuking them, either. “

I certainly have.

I don’t blame Baptists for the “Westborough Church.” I don’t blame Reverends for the “Reverend Jesse Jackson.” I don’t blame RCs for the pro abortion nuns or the homosexual communion services. I will say that I’d like to see the RC church use more of its authority structure to reprimand and repudiate those who claim to be RC but teach and behave differently. The Baptists don’t have an authority structure outside of their local church so don’t have the ability.

I’ve defended RCs as being rank and file appalled at the homosexual abuse coverups, and defended the RC church as having done a lot more good for kids with charity like orphanages, education, plain old money, shelter, and medical care than harm through the pedophile coverups - as horrible as they have been. I have noted that public schools have a worse coverup record.

And I am definitely a Protestant. I don’t have Roman Catholics. I see some serious problems with their doctrine and I won’t repaint the bad parts of their history, any more than I’ll ignore the good parts.

If by that you mean that you have done some "rebuking" ... thank you.
