Are most American Catholics actually Protestants?

Michael Voris of RealCatholicTV makes the case:

It does disturb me when Amazing Grace is sung in a Catholic Church.  And I think his case is pretty well made.  It is increasingly difficult to find a visible ‘Catholic identity’ anymore – the Body of Christ has been subsumed by the larger culture.  This is something Pope Benedict has been fighting against throughout his pontificate – we need to grow our Catholic identity, and that starts with the Sacred Liturgy.  That’s why the resurgence of Latin Mass is very important – it is a visible, outward symbol or our inner identity as Catholics.  That’s why adoration, devotionals, novenas, statuary, churches designed with a reserved sanctuary  – these are all key identifiers of our Catholic faith. 

The Church tried very hard with Vatican II to accomplish a great ecumenical goal, and it failed.  The protestants had no real interest in unity, and the Church was badly hurt by all the sudden changes and experimentation.

We need to get back to being Roman Catholics.
