"Conservative" Catholics do not leap to defend the hierarcy and "it's practices." They defend the Catholic Faith, even when the hierarchy doesn't. The hierarchy has not preached against contraception. The hierarchy has treated the pro-life movement like a bunch of lepers, snuggling up to the Kennedys and Cuomos and Renos and Clintons. When "conservative" Catholics defend the celibate, male priesthood, or oppose liturgical sacrileges, it isn't out of blind loyalty to the "hierarchy and it's practices," but to the Catholic Faith.

That is what makes conservatives better people than liberals.
