Exactly. Why would HE allow his Bride to suffer in the Tribulation?

Exactly.

Rom 5:9 and I Thess 5:9 both tell us that Christ will not allow His bride to endure the wrath of God (which is what the final seven-year period of Daniel, aka the Tribulation, or time of Jacob's trouble actually is). This not merely mean eternity in hell, it means any wrath of God. To say otherwise is to completely miscomprehend what the grace of God even means (which, admittedly, is something that almost no Catholics undersatand).

The bride referred here is God’s bride - Jerusalem - as we see with hosea 1 - Jerusalem had disobeyed God and is the New Babylon, to be destroyed. The 2nd Temple, that is the center of the Jewish world gets destroyed and only 2 Jewish sects remain - Christ followers and pharisees - Christianity and modern Judaism

“Why would HE allow his Bride to suffer in the Tribulation?”

Why does Christ allow every Christian believer to suffer throughout our lives? Do you think that means He loves us less?

Just as you can’t forge strong steel without passing the iron through a furnace, you don’t create followers with strong faith by sparing them from suffering.
