"I would be delighted to see Protestants defending Mary and the Virgin Birth!"

Mary was a wonderful woman. The Virgin Birth happened. Deal with it!

And this from John Calvin:

"It is said that Joseph knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: but this is limited to that very time. What took place afterwards, the historian does not inform us. Such is well known to have been the practice of the inspired writers. Certainly, no man will ever raise a question on this subject, except from curiosity; and no man will obstinately keep up the argument, except from an extreme fondness for disputation."

Yet another error of Calvin.
