As has been said, 2500 posts ago and probably yesterday, to believe that Mary remained a virgin is not the same thing (and indeed light years away) from the heresy that purports Mary to be "sinless."

Well, yes those two things would not necessarily be co-extensive. Why do you think that the doctrine of the sinlessness of Mary is a heresy? Is it because you reject the Latin dogma of the Immaculate Conception or because, like, for example, +John Chrysostomos, you believed she indeed did sin after her birth or both?
