I honestly mean no offense to your wife, but she could not have been very Catholic and believe she would go to hell for eating meat on Friday.

I was taught in 4th grade catholic school that eating meat on friday was a "venial" sin. I even confessed to the sin a few times. The priest never once told me not to worry about it cuz it isn't a sin. Matter of fact I probably wasted a few valuable seconds of my life reciting more than a few "Hail Mary full of grace help me a find a parking place prayers.

Another example of an ex-Catholic who is better off outside the Church (am I gonna get ex-communicated?)

See my response (1703?) re: the sin issue.
