Catholic Answer
Indeed they do, for the simple reason that the Magisterium is nothing other than the voice of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, as He has chosen to communicate it to Christians of today. When He ascended into heaven and left the Holy Spirit to guide His Body, the Church, He placed His Vicar - St. Peter, and his successors, the Popes; and the Apostles, and their successors, the Bishops as His Voice on earth: Luke 10:16
"Whoever listens to you listens to Me. Whoever rejects you rejects Me. And whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me."
from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
2034 The Roman Pontiff and the bishops are "authentic teachers, that is, teachers endowed with the authority of Christ, who preach the faith to the people entrusted to them, the faith to be believed and put into practice." (Codex Iuris Canonici, canon 747, section 2) The ordinary and universal Magisterium of the Pope and the bishops in communion with him teach the faithful the truth to believe, the charity to practice, the beatitude to hope for.

Yes, Catholics are obliged to consult the Magisterium, which is the teaching authority of the Catholic Church, in matters of right and wrong. The Magisterium provides guidance and interpretation of moral teachings based on Scripture and Tradition. Catholics are encouraged to seek the guidance of the Magisterium in order to have a proper understanding of ethical and moral issues.

Why are there more protestants than Catholics in the US?
For one Protestant is an umbrella term that refers to any of the numerous denominations that sprung up after the Reformation, and Catholics are only one single Church. Additionally the majority of settlers in the US originally were from England, and England is a very Protestant Nation that has at many times throughout their history openly persecuted Catholics. But this is not the case in areas of the US that were settled primarily by either the French or Spanish or in areas that the original British Protestants were displaced by Catholics such as in areas like New York and Boston. However Catholicism still remains the largest single Church in the United States.

How did Catholicism change the new world?
The easiest way to describe this is to compare those areas settled by the Puritans, and those settled by the Catholics. To this day there are no Native Americans in areas settled by the Puritans. The Puritans viewed the Native Americans as "unsaved" and thus not worthy of consideration. In one instance, they made a gift of small pox infected blankets, against which the Native Americans had immunity, and wiped out the entire tribe. In areas where the Catholics settled, they preached the Gospel, educated the natives, and even, when a small pox vaccination was developed immediately shipped supplies of it to the new world to vaccinate the natives.
