“I know not man”, she said. A woman intending to have children with her fiancee does not respoind like that.

Fantasy...All virgins can make that claim...Has nothing to do with intentions...

After the 'til' happened, Mary could then say, 'I now know a man'...

The point is, it is not a claim -- she is not claiming anything in Luke 1:34. She is simply puzzled that a prediction is made about her having a son. A woman about to be married would not be puzzled at all. She would say something like -- Thanks, so it will be a boy. Unless there was no possibility of conceiving from Joseph at all.

Read the scripture with attention and you will learn the truth that the Catholic Church has taught for centuries.
