So St. James offers us a narrower scope? Do we have to wear a MAGA hat?

If there isn't, it's because Catholicism is a binary.
Catholicism isn't a binary. If it were, "Roman Catholicism" would be redundant.
It isn't.

I wouldn't mind some theological clarification.
What fills the vacuum? "Less Catholic" means more something else?
 
At the end of their first date, a young man walks his favorite girl to her door. Feeling bold, he decides to go for that all-important first kiss.

With a confident smile, he leans against the wall and says, "Sweetheart, how about a goodnight kiss?"

The girl, shocked, exclaims, "Are you crazy? My parents will hear us!"

"Oh, come on! Who's going to hear us at this hour?" he insists.

"No, no, please! Can you imagine what would happen if we get caught?" she whispers urgently.

"Relax," he replies. "It’s late. Everyone’s asleep!"

"Absolutely not!" she says, her voice firm. "It’s too risky!"

"Please," he pleads. "I really, really like you!"

"I like you too," she says, "but I just can’t do it!"

"Pleeeeease?" he begs, desperation creeping into his tone.

Suddenly, the porch light flicks on, and the girl’s sister appears at the door in her pajamas, her hair a mess. Yawning, she says, "Dad says you can go ahead and kiss him. Or I can do it. Or, if it comes to it, Dad will come down and do it himself. But for heaven’s sake, take your hand off the intercom button!"
