Let me guess: you base it exclusively on Romans 5:12. And nowhere else. Let us see what it actually says:
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."

Well, at least she's got SOME Scripture to support her position, which is far better than the none that the Catholics have to support the sinlessness of Mary.

Basic Christianity 101? Let me remind you that Jewishness is matrilinear. Sin nature passed through the father? There is no evidence that it is exclusive. Is there anything that you guys get right about Christianity?

Genesis 22:17-18 17I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, 18and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."

Genesis 26:3-5 3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you, for to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham your father. 4 I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and will give to your offspring all these lands. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, 5because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."

Galatians 3:7-9 7Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed." 9So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

Just where do you get that Jewishness is matrilineal? Which genealogies in the Bible support that?

“Just where do you get that Jewishness is matrilineal? Which genealogies in the Bible support that?”

There are no genealogies in support of the idea. It comes from the interpretations of Deut. 7:1-5 made by Orthodox Jews.

But those verses are God’s command to remove certain peoples from the Promised Land and form no marriages with them. It says NOTHING about inheriting anything from anyone.
In short, “ Let me remind you that Jewishness is matrilinear.”, is a Talmudic invention.

You don’t know that Jewishness is matrilinear? I will attribute that to your lack of Catholic knowledge as well.
