"But the devout Catholics we know tend to come off preachy and judgmental."

Perhaps you expected compromise on dogmatic issues and a modernistic theology that assures you that no error or action is of consequence "as long as you are a good person". You should not expect Church teaching to conform to you, but rather you conform to Church teaching.

Peace be with you

No. It seems that many don’t understand the mercy thing that Pope Francis keeps preaching about. I know lots of very conservative Evangelical types that have similar positions on moral issues to Catholics. However, they are also the type who live their faith through their actions. They are open to outsiders and are happy to welcome them to their churches. Catholics ted to be insular and not as welcoming.
