Catholics live a Sacramental Life.
I Hope that the Holy Eucharist isn't a threat to you. If you don't think that Jesus is present in the Holy Eucharist, then all of your arguments against the Catholic Faith are over a piece of bread.
Furthermore, it doesn't take much of an education to know who gave a better deal when two gamesters play for a kingdom. Mexicans weren't the only ones to revolt against pagan indecency. It's not about American/Mexican patriotism. "Religious freedom" is universal. So, wanting to remain Catholic should not offend anyone.

I'm very happy that the Catholic Church inspired my ancestors of South America to drop their pagan ways. I could have been a victim of cannibalism.
