The Early Church Fathers are almost unanimous in the assertion that the birth was painless and had no loss of Mary's virginal integrity during the birth. In other words, her Hymen didn't break. St. Augustine said "Jesus passed through the womb of Mary as a ray of sun passes through glass"....This was confirmed by Pope Paul IV and many others before and after. If Jesus emerged from a sealed tomb, and passed through closed doors, surely he could pass through Mary's womb without breaking her hymen and causing her pain.

Since there is no scriptural support for this hypothetical construct,
one wonders why the need for this pagan goddess worship ?

It necessarily distracts from the worship of the ONE true G-d: YHvH.

Seek YHvH in His WORD !

First of all, Mary was not a pagan, but a Jew. She housed the child Jesus in her womb. He was free from sin and she was IN ADVANCE freed from sin when she was chosen to be the Mother of Jesus, God and man, two natures in one person.

Secondly, Catholics do not worship Mary. We ask her to pray for us.
