I know lots of “bible reading” Catholics that are very, VERY conservative and strong in their beliefs. They are similar to my wife before she left that church.
Until the last few weeks, I did not know just how contrary to their own churches teaching they are. They are like mormons who are just a step away from becoming “ex-mormons for Jesus”.
I thought this perpetual virgin thing was a radical fringe movement within the church. I had NO idea it was the church’s official doctrine.
