Why not just say you don't like Catholics?
Just going to leave this here

No, your wife was a Christian before and converted to another Christian sect.
Catholicism is the original Christian Church.
CHURCH FATHERS: Epistle to the Smyrnaeans (St. Ignatius)
Featuring the Church Fathers, Catholic Encyclopedia, Summa Theologica and more.
As someone who grew up Lutheran and now attends Catholic services, if serious, this is a very odd take.
Or you can just admit you're wrong. Which you are. It's not a matter of opinion
Have many nuns at your Lutheran church? Did you confess your sins to your pastor, who was somehow closer to God and had the power to absolve you of said sins? Was your pastor allowed to get married? Or was he required to take a vow of celibacy? Observe many Ash Wednesdays or participate in lent when you were growing up? Modern Christianity adheres to worship and beliefs that are scripture based. Catholics observe many traditions and practices that are more ritualistic and symbolic. Christians view many Catholic traditions are false idol worship ie Saints and the Virgin Mary. I could go on and on with a college thesis worth of examples of the differences, but this is getting silly. Odd take that someone would pretend that the two aren’t vastly different when they clearly and unequivocally are.

Did your mail order preacher tell you this?
I bet you get to Church early every week so you can get the best snakes, right?
I'm not sure how many actually are aware Hinduism is a religion.
My parent were Lutheran and Catholic and it was a big deal when they got married, so much of a deal they couldn't get married in the Catholic church. Even for me, when I got married the Priest wouldn't take part in my wedding because my wife wouldn't convert to Catholic.
I see these memes/gifs everywhere; what show is this from?
A couple thoughts:
First, early Christianity didn't go by the Bible alone. Jesus didn't write the Bible. The Bible was composed by the Catholic Church by the Year 300 A.D.
Second, Jesus gave the Apostles the ability to forgive sins.
John 20:21-23:
Second, both Jesus and Saint Paul recommended celibacy.
Matthew 19:11-20:14
Jesus Teaches on Celibacy
"But He said to them, “All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it.”Veneration of Mary and the saints is a part of early Christianity. It's veneration, not worship. Catholics don't worship Mary.
The idea of "Sola Scriptura" was created 1,500 years after Jesus by Martin Luther.
The Catholic Church had been in place for 1,400 years by then.
Just FYI.

Bro…..u srs? It’s “I think you should leave with Tim Robinson” on Netflix. Stop what you’re doing immediately and watch the entirety of this show. You’re welcome.
We’ve been without Netflix for the last 8-9 months, but that’ll be on the list when we fire it up again.
I don't know a single Catholic that doesn't consider themselves Christian. And I know a lot of them go even that my wife's family is all Catholic my brother's wife's family is all Catholic.
So, there were no Christians until the Protestant Reformation?
If God is real, there's really nothing more important.
Re: changing lives, one never knows.
Hello my long lost World Series champion friend. Happy Thanksgiving.
Wait
how is Catholicism different than generic Christianity
I think he would tell you Lutherans aren’t Christian either
