"What is of more interest is not whether Mary had other children, which she clearly did because Scripture clearly teaches so, but WHY it’s so important to Catholics to portray Mary as having always been a virgin when..."

What is of even more interest is WHY it is so many non-Catholics get their collective knickers in a twist over what Catholics believe.......

Maybe it is a Nun issue (as in nun ya damned bidness).

God is Truth. Whatever is a lie is not of God.

Teaching that Mary was always a virgin is a lie because Scripture is very clear that she didn’t remain a virgin after Jesus was born, that she and Joseph had normal marital relations and other children as a result.

So, just why is it that Catholics are so fixated on Mary’s alleged perpetual virginity to the point of teaching it as a fact, contrary to Scripture?

Ooooo, you're so clever.

I take it swearing at others is not a mortal sin. Saturday is still three days away.

That's rich considering it's Catholics who want others to believe the RCC is the true church.

The only thing true about the RCC is they want their flock to submit to the doctrine/traditions of man - which oppose God's Word. So much so, they have their own bible - the catechism, doctrine and tradition and wrapped it in some Scripture for a 'cover'.

So the interest for Christians lies in The Vatican proclaiming they are the true church when their own beliefs/teachings clearly show it is not.
