There always is. And I'm using all of them, trying not to attack her personally.
The mistake most people here are making, is to conflate catholic with evangelical and protestant. Catholics, going by my own experience, never put as much stock in the letter of the bible as evangelicals do. So this wouldn't even be something CL could answer, since she probably didn't really reflect on it.
As I said, I consider that to be an emergency exit for catholics to not have to look at the uglier parts of the narrative. But it's as it is. The OT isn't part of her belief system.
