My husband, too. He says it's because he knows of what he speaks. 8~)
I would bet that he doesn't. The fact of the matter is that it is perfectly human and natural for someone to belittle or even treat harshly an organization in which a person had left on bad terms. Is this not the case of an employee who is fired for stealing? Or if the employee feels that the employer treats him poorly? Is it any different here? To justify one's choice (religious or secular) on such issues, it is not unusual for that person to speak very poorly of their former religious or secular affiliation so as to justify their own decision.
My experience on this and other threads tells me that very few Catholics who leave Catholicism actually knew the teachings of the Church. This is evident in the need for Catholics here to correct misinterpretations of teachings given by "former Catholics" who supposedly "know" Catholicism.

Nothing like poisoning the well now is there.....
My husband did not leave the RCC "on bad terms."
He fled the RCC, by the grace of God alone.

lol. I can understand why you would want that to be so. But evidence is to the contrary. In my husband's case, 14 years of catholic education was profoundly instructive.
He knows of what you speak.

Am a little unclear . . . is the bet that the wife is lying about hubby . . . or that hubby spent X or XX decades in the Roman Church and came away with total amnesia and is therefore lying himself?
That assessment, of course, without having dialogued with hubby; assessed anything directly or even via the wife about hubby . . .
just judging on the basis of wholesale bias, I guess, that hubby must be lying.
Impressive.
Sorry, Dr E--forgot to ping you.
