Point of Fact, not Criticism: Catholic teachings declare that Mary, Mother of Jesus, remained a virgin after His birth and that there was never any subsequent sexual relations between her and Joseph. However, Mary and Joseph were Jews - so never having sex or any more children after Jesus would be counter to what a Jewish marriage required. Further, it is not even Biblical. Joseph was told by God's messenger not to have relations with Mary until after Jesus was born - Matthew-ch.1-v.25 "He knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son." - Not ONLY Son, but firstborn Son. The Apostles often referred to Jesus' brothers and sister, as distinguished from cousins and followers. Just pointing out the incongruities here....no offense.....
Oh good...FINALLY,something we haven't covered
You don't have to worry. You're absolutely right, and on target when it comes to Scripture vs. dogma. I'm 100% with you on this one.
