A key tenant of Catholicism (as well as Orthodox Christianity) is humility. If someone is running around yelling that they know better than the Pope, then they ought to take a moment to reflect on the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican. (And maybe also remind themselves of that thing with the camel and the needle.) This is Catholicism used as identity and as an ideological cudgel. If these people are genuinely faithful, I fail to see it in their words and deeds.
