Having just read the "gospel of Mary" said to be written by Matthew one question comes to the forefront..It says(chapter 6 vs 6) an aged Joseph had a dove land on his rod so he knew he was to marry Mary..he then returned to his home in Bethelem to prepare a house for her...ummmmmmmmm very strange that he must have lived in a stable

It is this kind of non inspired stuff from which the church draws its Mary doctrine

No, as a matter of fact the "Gospel of Mary" is a gnostic gospel rejected by the Catholic Church in the approval of the final canon of the Bible which was passed on to you guys and truncated by your predecessors in heresy to remove the parts inconvenient to reformation tastes and TOPIOS. If you are studying the gnostic fraudulencies, small wonder you are confused as you seem to be.

You are obviously a dependable source for Catholic doctrine.
