If is upon frauds like this that the belief that Joseph had children before his marriage to Mary rests and the pictures of the infant in a cave with animals round about.

According to this second century fraud Salome thrusts her finger into Mary’s nether parts to verify Mary is a virgin and such nonsense as that that forms that so called “deposit of faith”.

Throw in the tradition that Anna’s house (Mary’s mother, unnamed in Scripture) was picked up by angels and transported from the Middle East to Italy with some stops along the way.

This is what passes as tradition equal to Scripture.

Kind of mind boggling, isn't it?
