I think, for the most part catholic people who disagree with the more "conservative" parts of their faith don't find something "offensive" about other, more "liberal" pretestant branches of christianity.... (and some branches are JUST as conservative as catholicism) They LIKE the other parts of being catholic, the rituals and ceremonies (communion, saying the rosary...) are really beautiful, and most protestant faiths have done away with those aspects of religion.
FYI, many nondenominational churches (which are not properly called Protestant because they're not protesting anything) are much more conservative than the Catholic church. They do take communion, but they don't believe in transubstiation (that the wafer literally becomes the body of Christ), and don't say the rosary as it's not in the Bible.

I've gone to a couple nondenominational churches; I actually prefer them, when their message agrees with my beliefs. It's easier to find a small "non-dom" with the same belief system as mine than one of the more popular sects
