[Salvation]

**Joseph’s role in bringing up Christ was just as important as Mary’s role as his mother.**

So you are saying that St. Joseph’s role was important, since God was the Father of the Son, Jesus?

I don’t think that you are denying Luke in quoting that Jesus was conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Blessed Trinity, are you?

[P-Marlowe]

I am simply saying that anyone who thinks that Joseph was a "foster" father would have to assert that Mary was a single mother and Jesus was an illegitimate child.

He wasn't. He was the legal son of Joseph.
