I don't think the comment is suggesting they criticize Protestantism. I think they are suggesting that US Catholics faith no longer aligns with the Vatican and that it's diverged to the point that in no longer even represents the idea of Christianity at large (Protestants) and more just some new thing (presumably where people pretend to read the Bible and just ignore all the commandments).
Ah, yeah that's fair, I may have misunderstood. Although honestly cherry-picking the bible is neither new nor uniquely Protestant. I do wonder how uniquely American it is though, because there's a very wide streak of it through American evangelicalism but I don't hear too much about it from elsewhere in the world.
