Making things up and inventing?

Who’s doing that? Where exactly?

If you are what you say, a loyal and faithful Catholic, why are you saying stick to the Bible?

The Catholic Church has made up a number of yarns over the years:

1) That Mary was ALWAYS a virgin. Never mind the fact that she was happily married Joseph and Jesus had brothers and sisters mentioned in the Bible.

2) The idea that Mary herself was conceived of an immaculate conception is sheer nonsense. There is no basis for this in the Bible.

3) Mandatory celibacy too is a Catholic invention. Marriage and consummation of marriage is celebrated all throughout the Bible.

The Church has the right to institute its own rules, rituals, traditions, and so forth. But NO Church has the right to rewrite history or rewrite the Bible.
