Rabbi’s aren’t Pope’s and they’re born to argue so when the vast majority of them clearly state that a non Jew saying Jewish prayers is contrary to the principles of the religion then I’m going to accept that as a religious decree.

So yea your non jewish wife saying the bracha is a problem. You’re welcome to practice as you see fit, no one’s going to pull your Jew card over it but that doesn’t make it halacha/Kosher/ cool or any other version of acceptable.

Why do Rabbis get to declare what is cultural appropriation when only 15% of American Jews say Judaism is about religion?

It sounds like you are offended by it. I would love some evidence that the general Jewish population agrees with you.

Why do the people who devote their lives to studying the scriptures of the religion get to be the ones who decide what’s acceptable within the religion and what’s not?

Because they’re literally the subject matter experts. It’s also pretty damn clear in the tanach too. In order to perform the mitzvah you need to be Jewish.

I’m not offended by how you choose to practice your religion, I’m pointing out that what you’re doing is absolutely cultural appropriation and off sides with the understood practice of the religion as a whole. You’re the one who seems to be offended by being called out on this, and that’s for you to come to grips with not me.

I like how you keep ignoring the fact that the vast majority of Jews clearly don’t give a shit about what Rabbis think.

Basically you’re saying that Rabbis get to decide what Jews consider to be cultural appropriation and Jews as a whole do not.

Which is nonsense.
