Told by who? Obviously even recent Popes don't agree with each other. There is constant argument among Catholics about many things: divorce, the power of Bishops, the church's handling of homosexual child molesters, the use of birth-control. That last teaching is ignored by the majority of American Catholics.
I don't see much evidence of "one with Rome".
That strikes me as sort of an old school calumny. One held by people who call Catholics "papists".
I think a fair reading of what is going on in the church shows that is not close to being the case.
I will grant you that there is still more unity in the Catholic Church than in the Protestant denominations, who offically hold beliefs that contradict each other. That doesn't make the Catholic views correct, though.

Non-catholics are constantly told on this board that our understanding of the Scripture is wrong; that you are not allowed to "make your own personal interpretation of Scripture"; etc.
I agree with your comment about not much evidence of being "one with Rome" though. Catholics are all over the board on topics in these threads; most don't know the catechism and less seem to be familiar with Scripture as a whole other than a handful of verses they've pulled off an apologetic website.
