Yeah, but Protestants aren't monolithic like the Church is. I dunno, I can see it being influenced by anti-Catholic sentiment (FSM knows too many people read Jack Chick) but I don't think that's all of it, and IMO it's less than 50% of the issue. The other problems were the hierarchy's shuffling of individuals with known problems back into contact with children, failure to warn people, etc. The type of systemic corruption that the Catholic Church enabled, by the existence of its hierarchy, simply can't happen in decentralized faiths.
