And Mary's brothers and sisters were all virgins til death as well and so was Anna...It ran in the family...
Anna loved German chocolate cake and fed it to the kids constantly...That's why Mary was an extremely chubby child...She grew up so chubby that her husband had to haul her around on a Donkey...
Just like yours, my story has no basis in fact either...
I referenced all materials from the online Catholic Encyclopedia.

But that being said, casting aspersions on some myths but not others is walking on thin ice. An awful lot of research and scholarship has been devoted to this. The cherry-picking used in the creation of the Bible is as much a part of it as anything else.
That being said, Catholics embrace some things that other religions do not, and no provable “right” or “wrong” doctrines exist.
