Because catholics are known for their tolerance.

Compared to most the protestant sects today they are pretty tolerant.

Catholics are very tolerant, although in the same way liberals and progressives are - for as long as you agree with them.

But to be fair, a lot of them are actually tolerant, they are people too, believe it or not.

I do not doubt your experience, it sucks, I suppose but in my opinion it depends on the country and culture. A lot of christians(hardcore christians) are quite intense, let's say, but a lot of them are pretty chill, in my experience, at least. I would say, some protestant denominations are the worst in that regard.

Protestants are less awful imo. At least the two people I got to know, keep their opinions mostly to themselves. So maybe that's why they seem more upstanding.

Though one of them expressed that he does believe his gay friend will go to hell.

Catholics are much more rule-bent in my experience and far less tolerant.

They are more rule-bent, but a hardcore protestant is a lot more fanatical than a deboted catholic in my opinion. But with protestants it differs a lot between confessions.
