“Waaah, Protestants told you so” isn’t much of an answer if it’s true. Granted, we need to put it in context. Partisans in Protestant and Catholic camps are both guilty of cherry picking.

It isn't true, and that's the point. An actual study of the Papal Magisterium (whether you choose to subscribe to it or not) would easily show that.

Of course. I know of so many people who would be lazy and attribute the beliefs of Presbyterians to those people who are Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, or (one of the many subsets of) Charismatics. In fact, I know many who would attribute the actions of the PCUSA to all Presbyterians. That isn't any more fair than attributing the actions of Westboro Baptist to all Baptists. And worse would be to use what Karl Keating (a fairly well-known Catholic apologist and former Baptist) says about Baptists rather than to find out what Baptists actually believe from Baptist sources.
