Roman Catholic Answer
Catholics are like everyone else, they are children of Adam, and thus have a fallen nature. Evil, as defined by St. Thomas Aquinas is the absence of good (light a shadow is the absence of light - it is nothing positive). From that point of view, Catholics are in a much better position to not be evil than most others as they have the fullness of Christ's Church to teach and lead them.Related Questions

Asked in Protestantism
Are protestants evil?
That is like asking "are people evil?" - it depends on your
definition of "evil." All people have some capacity for good and
evil, and protestants are no different. Protestants are a huge
group and can't be taken as a unit.
There are certainly people who are Protestant who are evil
(most, if not all, high-level Nazis were Protestant, and most
people would agree they were evil). But Protestants as a group are
no more evil than any other group of people.
Some Catholics believe Protestants are evil, because Protestants
by definition are "protesting" the Roman Catholic Church's claim to
sole authority over the church. But most Catholics, if they get to
know some Protestants, realize that Protestants are no more less
evil than anyone else.
