The Bible said that Jesus had brothers and sisters—who was their father? Catholics say they were half brothers from an early marriage—what was Joseph’s first wives name?
Bible also says that Mary was a perfect wife to Joseph—soulds like they had sex in the old fashioned way—so she wasn’t a perpetual virgin? The Catholic Church wanted to turn Mary into the Roman Harvest Goddess or a new Isis? Why no grave for Mary? She was just taken up to heaven to be with God? what happened to Joseph? He seems to have gotten a raw deal here.

I’d like to point t out that all Eastern an Orthodox Churches agree o. Mrs perpetual Virginity and assumption (dormition). The only ones that don’t are people who follow the Protestant heresies.

Focus upon what the Bible says about Mary being betrothed to Joseph, and what Joseph was told about going ahead and taking Mary as his wife. Catholiciism twists the notion of vows and the Jewish wedding process, betrothal, marriage, so that their institution can elevate the Mother of Jesus to status which empowers the Vatican, not the adherents.

An honorable man....and he is indeed honored, but had no physical role in Jesus' conception. Probably much older than Mary, his relationship with her is pretty much unknown and basically none of our business.
