but adults ARE interested in sex. God made them that way

Yes, and in my 3061 I explain why:

We enjoy sex because through marital sex we learn something about God Who is the Creator (and sex creates) and Who is Love (and sex loves). But Mary learned about God directly and not through model substitution of sex. She probably was not interested

This is not a unique circumstance. Monks and nuns are not interested in sex either, and for the same reason.

Pure unadulterated speculation.

And you know this how?

Now I see Mary has been made into a liar and a deceiver. It’s wasn’t enough that the RCC teaches she wasn’t there for her own son at the tomb as if she was had no compassion/love as a mother. Now she married Joseph but deceived him because she wasn’t interested in sex. A wife is submission to her husband and you’ve made Mary submissive to her own wants/interest.

The RCC and Catholics are literally hellbent on using Mary as their propaganda tool. With your ‘she probably..., leaning unto your own understanding - which is taught not to do to because one will be led astray - that teaching is defied.

I believe the RCC/Catholics will pay dearly for what they have done ‘tried’ to do to the good name of Mary. We are taught to hear and obey, Mary did as everyone who loves God does. Catholics hear and disobey.

Monks and nuns - obeyed the laws/traditions of The RCC which, also, includes poverty and it has nothing to do with what they wanted but NEEDED to obey. They weren’t obeying GOD but ‘man’ because that is what the RCC REQUIRED them to do.

How many nuns left the convent because their eyes were opened? I know many. One thing - as much as the RCC has tried, Mary’s name will not be tarnished - because the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church - but it’s the RCC and Catholics who push their agenda that is tarnished. Hear and disobey has eternal consequences. Anything not of God/His Word, burns - for it is only HIS Word that always will be.

“Thus you nullify the Word of God by your tradition that you have handed down..” Mark 7:13
