The King James renders that same verse thusly:

Mat 13:55Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

Who is the Mary who went to Jesus tomb?

And why does Polycarp run every time I ask him this question?

[Clintons a commie]

Y'know, I haven't been to Church since Easter and I'm not the best Christian in the world these days. But these attacks on the Blessed Mother are sickmaking; from what I remember in theology class, Mary isn't mentioned visiting the tomb on Easter Sunday for two reasons:
1)those who were pictured visiting the tomb where people whose faith may have faltered, and Mary's faith was not questioned by the early Christian Community, as she was the first disciple and the one who said "Serviam" to God(as opposed to Lucifer's "Non Serviam").
2)The most ancient traditions of Christendom suggest that Jesus Christ showed Himself Risen from the dead to His mother before any other disciple. In fact Augustine posited that Jesus was appearing to Mary at the same time that the other women were journeying to the tomb.

Catholic baiters have more respect for 19th century evangelists than they do for the woman who carried their Lord and Savior in her womb.

As to your whining question as to why Catholics will not answer your silly question, there is a possibility that you are notr taken seriously as are such reformed Christians as drstevej but rather conduct yourself as an ugly example of self-righteous and persistently ignorant two-bit cheap shot artist and thus not worthy of answer.

I see no reason to give substantive answers to someone who claims, in Jack Chick/Lorraine Boettner fashion, that the original Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ Himself upon Simon bar Jonah as Peter is "the whore of Babylon." Go work out your adolescent obsessions and fantasies elsewhere and begone before you attract more attention from the grownups than you are likely to desire!

All this fighting from Christian sectarians not rooted in the true Apostolic Catholic Greek Orthodox Church.

The King James Bible! Poorly translated from the Greek original by half literate northern barbarians who had just recently stopped wearing bearskins and painting themselves blue.
