"You have been taught that Thetokos delivered thrugh a birth canal?"
_____________________________

Excuse me for jumping in here, I'm just trying to catch up. Is it RCC's teaching that in addition to Mary not suffering birth pains and her hymen not being broken that Jesus was not delivered through her birth canal?

I've never heard this before.

Before you go any further, you should know that kosta50 and Kolokotronis are not Catholic. They are Eastern Orthodox.

The Church (both East and West) teaches, and has always taught that our Lord's Birth was a mystery just as His Incarnation is. We do not usually go into "fine" details of just "how" mysteries of God happen.

The Church does teach that the birth canal remained closed and her virginity (the "seal") was preserved. You are free to use tour imagination to "figure out" how one can be born "naturally" (as the Protestants believe) through a closed birth canal without violating someone's virginity, but it is not a "natural" birth.
