“Do you deny that Mary the Mother of Jesus was a virgin?”

No. I’m a believer. I didn’t word my original comment correctly. It should have said “Mary and Joseph had kids together after Mary bore Jesus by the fatherhood of the Holy Spirit, not Joseph.” Mary was certainly a virgin when Jesus was born but certainly not after all those other children, mentioned in Mattew 13:55

[Philo-Junius]

Where, precisely, are Jesus’ brothers described as Mary’s sons? Why does St. John take charge of Mary at the Crucifixion if these numerous other brothers remain?

but certainly not after all those other children?"mentioned in Mattew 13:55

"the 'brothers of Jesus' are neither the sons of Mary, nor the brothers of Our Lord in the proper sense of the word, but they are His cousins or the more or less near relatives. [70] The Church insists that in His birth the Son of God did not lessen but consecrate the virginal integrity of His mother (Secret in Mass of Purification). The Fathers express themselves in similar language concerning this privilege of Mary. [71] http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15464b.htm
