Any evidence of His virgin birth would have been destroyed in the birthing process

That is not what th Church teaches. The hymen was closed even after birth. Compare John 20:19.

I'm sure He was born like any other human baby

Strong argument there. YOU are sure? Thanks.

Compare it to what?

“Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.” (John 20:19)

It’s a stronger one than the Catholic church or you have provided.

John 20:19 has nothing to do with His birth.

Jesus ability to walk through walls in His RESURRECTED body does not imply any special ability to pass through Mary’s body that way before His death. That’s a complete fabrication and the most wishful thinking I’ve ever seen.

Jesus shared with us in His humanity.

You guys are unreal (and unrealistic) in your imaginative stretches to justify the doctrine of Mary’s perpetual virginity.

She didn’t NEED to remain a virgin after the birth of Christ. It served no purpose and was irrelevant to the work of Christ on the cross.

You guys need to get your focus back on Jesus.
