Not in my experience.
There's a revanchist element of RCs who long for the days of Bells 'n Smells before *shudder* Vat II and the dreaded Guitar Mass, but even most of them disdain the OECs as only slightly less primitive than the snake-waving Appalachian types of Pentecostals.
And then there are the hard-core Pio Nono types who want to throw the entire Enlightenment out the window, but even they don't do the Literalism thang. How can you revere Aquinas - who, remember, managed to replace nearly the entire Bible with the collected works of Aristotle - while taking that ridiculous Genesis business literally? At most, RCs of any persuasion will insist on the literal truth of the Gospels, and are happy to take the rest with a Siberia of salt.
Of course, we have Densye, who proclaims her Catholicism nearly as loudly as her rejection of Emmanuel Goldstein Darwin and all his pomps. As a survivor of Vincentian and Jesuit education, I can assure you that that is only the pernicious influence of the colonies a rather too loud affirmation of loyalty to All Those Cool Guys. Even the most obnoxious of the bishops cringe when they have to be seen with her and her type
-------------- "People are always looking for natural selection to generate random mutations" - Densye 4-4-2011 JoeG BTW dumbass- some variations help ensure reproductive fitness so they cannot be random wrt it.
