I believe it is that very fractured nature of Catholicism that will allow southern evangelicals to ultimately triumph in a final Sunni/Shiite style internecine struggle for post-liberal power.

Catholicism has swung to the right. Most of the Vatican II social justice Catholics are gone now. Catholics are now a rightwing political block with some muscle.
Look up Robert P. George. He's a radical and hugely influential right-wing Roman Catholic anti-gay and anti-abortion activist. He envisions an apartheid society along religious grounds in which gays would be lawfully prohibited from doing business with church-owned enterprises having purely secular missions. He's also on the faculty of Princeton University, making him damn near unassailable.

George is just a peach of a Catholic and a lousy theologian.
