Ahahaha! Pretty clever wife. =)
Part of me thinks you should be offended, and part of me thinks you should be glad that your wife cares enough to give you something that will spark your attention. I mean, who WOULDN'T want St. Anthony to pray for them....even if they weren't a pig?

Take it as a back-handed compliment that testifies to your multi-tasking ability.
Anyone who can be, simultaneously, the Patron Saint of butchers and swine, and gravediggers as well as relief from pestilence (see your link, above; a major conflict of interest, surely, between keeping 'em six feet over and six feet under) is clearly not a guy to be trifled with.
Now go give her a kiss.

Maybe your wife is trying to tell you something???
But putting that aside, the only ONE to Glorify, Worship and to Invoke in your prayers is the ONE and ONLY,
The Creator of Creation. Blessed Be HIS Name.

Since your catholic, why should you be offended, you pray to dead people, you don't believe Jesus is enough for salvation, along with participating in pagan rituals.
