I don't need to know you or your wife to know the arguments she presents
are a rehash of a bunch of old school attacks launched against the
Catholic Church. They have been used as the justification of numerous
acts of violence and exclusion of Catholics both in the U.S. and abroad.
If you want to throw around shame, shame on you for spreading that
garbage around in the first place. The ideas you relate are ignorant and
deeply offensive to most Catholics, and reasonable people could probably
figure all this out without great mental leaps.
If she really can't see how wrong this stuff is (for that matter, if you
can't), I have no clue what I could say to open your eyes.

Mike-
You obviously do not know my wife.
And I strongly protest your implication that she is narrow-minded
and that, even if wrong, no amount of discussion would change her
mind.
Shame on you for pre-judging her and painting with a very broad brush.
I plan on showing her Will Bowen's very well-written reply.
Will's email immediately made me question the veracity of a lot
of the so-called "truths" I was taught. I want to study this more.
I'm Jewish, and there have been even more vicious attacks against
us for two thousand years. I do not want to spread false accusations
against Catholics if shown they are not true, and I am sure my
wife as an intelligent and fair person would do the same.
