You're not fooling anyone who compares the original Hebrew and Greek to the Catholic bible.

Catholic vernacular Bibles printed since the 1940s are prepared with comparison to the original texts. The Bible most English-speaking Catholic scripture scholars recommend today is the RSV-CE, which is (originally) based on the King James Version, not the Vulgate.

Already in Genesis 3:15 the Catholic Church changed the words

Jerome did that in the Vulgate; that's where it came from. And the actual Hebrew pronoun is ambiguous as to gender.

How stupid is that statement?

The Hebrew word for He = ה֚וּא

The Hebrew word for she= הִ֛וא

Genesis 3:12 uses הִ֛וא (she), Genesis 3:15 does not but uses ה֚וּא (He).
