...plus they are the most poorly catechized people I have ever met, really poor examples of Catholics...but great examples of Evangelicals.

Well, surprise, surprise. Evangelicals are poorly catechized.

The RC catechism is a prime example of indoctrination. Rote and ritual are the extant features.

Evangelicals (which may include Protestants and Roman Catholics) are more prone to learning the Word of God, as taught through the leadings of the Holy Spirit. God is a Spirit, and it is not unusual to see most Roman Catholics following the edicts of Rome with the clear instructions of Roman Catholicism. It is required!

With the Holy Spirit, we are told by our Savior and Provider that we are to follow the instructions from the Word of God. Paul wrote about that and also wrote about those new Christians in Rome...

John 14: ...25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. ...

Romans 2: 1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. ...

2 Timothy 3: ...25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. ...

“Well, surprise, surprise. Evangelicals are poorly catechi”

You missed the whole point - the poorly catechized were the fallen away Catholics that you celebrate.

Point is you end up with Catholics who are fallen away, poorly catechized, most often divorced and who are looking for Catholicism light.

No mortal sin, contraception, divorce, and believe whatever you want.

We’ll they are all yours at least until they tire of your particular sect looking for something ‘less judgemental’

They are all yours and good riddance.
