As bad as Catholics can be, they are a bit player in the US religious landscape. I reject the premise that they are still the standard by which American “Christianity” sets its course. I’m not defending them exactly, I’m just saying they aren’t the most serious problem. By far the most dangerous are the post-second-reformation evangelicals. American Catholics are barely even Catholic by most measures, and are far more heavily influenced by American Pentecostals, Adventists, Mormons, and most dangerous of all Southern Baptists. Even their own forebears would consider what they’ve become blasphemous heretics.

That’s almost entirely backwards

That’s accurate. The idea that they have anything to do with American Christianity is however entirely false.
