Man, are we in for it now. The doubting Thomases re Mary and her virginity are already licking their chops.

I guess big families and how they work are unknown to them.

When in the Holy Land, we would go to the Armenian Cathedral with a group from the Latin Patriarchate (it was a time of ecumenical efforts) to hear evening vespers and to venerate the grave of St. James. I know that in addition to the Armenian's claim, the Orthodox, the Anglicans, us Catholics, the Jacobites -- all agree that St. James is buried there -- and these groups are famous for disagreeing even over a toothpick.
