When discussing with Catholics, I try to use the Douay-Rheims, when possible. It avoids getting sidetracked with translation arguments.

If worked well; they'd not have NEWER English translations than D-R!

When people reject Christ and instead seek to substitute a counterfeit substitute for God, they may attempt to elevate Mary above Christ by claiming she remained a virgin, even after his birth. (If such happens, then how did she give birth without breaking her hymen?)
