That is true. But as more and more of what the rcc is comes out into the open, the extremists are becoming a bigger share of the catholic population. In twenty years USian catholicism will be like Irish catholicism, populated mostly by the headbangers.
That’s not really the case. The percentage of US Catholics who regularly attend church services has dropped like a paralyzed falcon. You only find the hardline, old-school Catholicism among the ever shrinking minority who attend services at least once per week. In fact, it’s not a stretch to describe most American Catholics as ‘reform’ (‘liberal’ is probably too strong a term at this point).
USians have a helluva lot more to fear from Protestant hardliners than from Catholic ones.
