No I am not willing to concede it.

The Churches at Rome, Alexandria, and Antioch were all originally ethnically and linguistically Greek as far as I am aware. They just eventually shifted over to their native tongues, so they do not have as clearly unified a 2000-year linguistic tradition. That’s why I concentrated on the Greeks.

All the ancient Churches agree on the ever-virginity of Mary, and it was held by a number of Reformers as well, as others have shown here. Fr. Hunwicke just made the case that there is no ground for opposing it in the Church of England either:

No they don’t all agree on this. Perhaps beginning in the 4th century but not always prior to this. What this illustrates is how false beliefs can encroach in the church. Paul and John had to deal with false teaching as we have to contend with now over this issue.
