Do you know that he was not? Can you imagine what the qualifications must be to be the earthly father to the Son of G-d?

Father tell me how I fit into this plan of yours.
How can a man be father to the son of G-d?
Lord, for all my life I've been a simple carpenter.
How can I raise a King? How can I raise a King?

Shalom.

Actually, Mary is the greatest saint who ever lived.

Do you project your sexual fantasies, grounded in this age of birth control, upon all characters in the Bible? Jesus lived 33 years, that's an awful long time to go without gettin' some, ain't it? He even had all those prostitutes around.

Joseph was a great guy -- he doesn't get enough credit (I think he's OK with that, BTW). But are you are seriously suggesting that Mary's concomittent sacrifice is somehow less?
