No perpetual virginity is to be found in the original language of Scripture. The Church has never claimed Mary's perpetual virginity is explicit in scripture.
Nor is the
Trinitarian Nature of God, to be found in scripture.
But you still believe in that nonetheless, without it being scripturally explicit.
So you see, it is possible to believe in rules of your faith, outside of explicit scriptural writing.

The Trinitarian Nature of God is found in Scripture. What isn't there is the word trinity.

Nor is the Trinitarian Nature of God, to be found in scripture. Granted the word *trinity* is not found in Scripture literally, however, there is no doubt the concept is.
The problem you all Catholics have is that the concept of the perpetual virginity of Mary, along with the Immaculate Conception, is that neither are even alluded to in any way in Scripture. It is an extra Biblical man inspired fabrication about her that has no bearing on Jesus, His divinity, His atoning death, or our salvation.
