Isn't the Catholic church the largest single religious denomination in the USA?

No, protestants outnumber Roman Catholics 2 to 1. While catholics are primarily in one monolithic denomination and the protestants are separated into many, if a person just picked a person at random, they would they would be twice as likely to pick a protestant than a catholic.

From the CIA fact book: Protestant 52%, Roman Catholic 24%, Mormon 2%, Jewish 1%, Muslim 1%, other 10%, none 10% (2002 est.)

Here is an article about Janice Rogers Brown in the Christian Woman magazine:

http://www.gospeladvocate.com/cw/cw0501a.htm

Last year, Janice accepted a position on the Pepperdine University Board of Regents. She addressed the 1999 Pepperdine Bible Lectureship on the topic, "Beyond the Abyss: Restoring Religion on the Public Square," urging Christians to use their First Amendment rights to make their voices heard in public matters.

Chris Goldman, minister of the Cordova congregation, has compared Janice to Deborah, the woman judge of the Bible. "Serving as a judge in a day when evil seems to be prevalent and growing, Janice restores faith to the Supreme Court in the same fashion Deborah restored faith in her day."

There are indeed more Protestants than Catholics in the U.S. But, the Catholic Church is also the largest single church or "denomination" in the U.S., since Protestants are split between many different churches (e.g., Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, etc.).
