It's undoubtedly true. That's one reason so many nominal Catholics are pro-contraception, pro-gay-marriage, pro divorce/remarriage, etc. Living like other Americans, voting like other Americans (within a 2% margin plus or minus), reading Scripture by their own lights and doing what they think best.

The fact is that less that probably 1/2 of the people baptized Catholics actually are in any way Catholic..

They may bring their kids for baptism , seek a church to marry or be buried in ...but other than that they are nothing.. and so indeed they do use birth control, have abortions , and support gay rights.. .. but they still call themselves Roman Catholics.. and so they still belong to your church

All that's probably true, too. There are many senses of the word "Catholic" --- these could probably be described as the "non-Catholic faction of the Catholic Church."

Kind of like this guy, "Presbyterian minister, father of four, abortion enthusiast"

Non-Presbyterian faction of the Presbyterian Church.
