Zactly, lol. To put an even finer point on it, while people with a sense of human decency believe that the RCC has damaged itself with this and will lose ground because of it....
...it's actually protestantism taking the big hit no matter how we interpret the data. At least in the US.
-4.8 to -3.1
Whatever's bothering the protestants is bothering them more than anything bothering the catholics. Let that sink in.
Then, among millennials, there are more self described catholics than mainline protestants, a blip for evangelical protestantism here - but understanding their teen outreach program back in the 00's and our propensity to return to the faith of our birth even after an early or midlife conversion....this is likely to be temporary.
This data is skewed by demographic influx (contextualizing the fears of white genocide that waspish maggats are always preening on about) - and perhaps those immigrants will assume the majority religion of their new culture within a few generations - but the likelihood of that then-majority view being protestant rather than catholic or the newly surging nones is slim to nil.
Catholicism is poised to be the last man standing in the christian war for souls here in the US. This, as dominionists (increasingly catholic dominionists) take hold of the gains their protestant competitors made in eroding the wall between religious faith and good governance.
