A: No.The Church teaches that Mary was a perpetual virgin.

That would be the Catholic church, not the church of Christ. Jesus had many brothers, James and Judas (authors of epistles) were two of note. Mary was not a perpetual virgin and nothing in scripture supports that assertion.

On a side note, the Catholic church said that the universe rotated around the Earth and that forgiveness of sin could be purchased for an indulgence.

**That would be the Catholic church,**
