Still trying to push the narrative that Mary had no children after Jesus. Wrong.

In the ‘hood men shout out out the greeting “bro’” to perfect strangers.
Fraternity members consider themselves to be non sibling brothers, indeed the word frater means brother in Latin.
My point? It is a universal tendency for men to refer to each other as brothers even when they are not siblings.
When scripture talks about brothers they are often not related by blood.

Regardless of the interpretation of brethren, which is important, Id like my Roman Catholic friends to consider that if Mary and Joseph never consummated their marriage then they werent really married.
And if the one was denying sex to the other, either way, they were actually sinning.

The simple context of the passages in question will answer the question in the affirmative that Joseph and Mary did indeed have children after Jesus was born.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Just the other day one of your fellow Roman catholics had a thread up that the purpose of marriage was for children and that if you entered into a marriage without intending to have children that was a no-no.
Based on Roman Catholic teaching, if Joseph and Mary did not have children, their marriage, in the eyes of the RCC would be invalid.

Because neither Hebrew nor Aramaic (the language spoken by Christ and his disciples) had a special word meaning "cousin," speakers of those languages could use either the word for "brother" or a circumlocution, such as "the son of my uncle." But circumlocutions are clumsy, so the Jews often used "brother." However, there is a word in the Greek, which is the language of the NT, for cousin.

Dragging out a 14 year old article to provoke discord?
There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. (Proverbs 6:16-19)
