"All of the early Protestant Founders accepted the truth of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary"

Can you prove this foolish statement?

"Protestants of the last 150 years or so (since the onset of theological liberalism) who have ditched this previously-held opinion? Yet it has become fashionable to believe that Jesus had blood brothers (I suspect, because this contradicts Catholic teaching), contrary to the original consensus of the early Protestants. "

Actually I think it would be access to Bibles and not liberalism that exposed this heresy.

With limited access to bibles people would have no way to prove if what they were taught was scriptural. The invention of the printing press exposed the lies that the Synagogue of satan passed on as truth to the believers.

I love the name of the website --Biblical Evidence for Catholicism? Strange the author didn't use any biblical evidence to prove his claim. His proof seems to be that if enough people believe a lie it makes it true.

Can you prove this foolish statement?

Which foolish statement? You sandwiched this sentence between two different statements. If it's the first statement, I just provided in the original post quite a few quotes from Luther, Czlvin, etc on the perpetual virginity of Mary.

If it's the second statement, I could buy that statement. Protestantism at it's core is anti-Catholicism. Now I don't mean anti- in the sense that we use it here, i.e., bigotry towards, although that usually is the case as well. I mean in terms of setting every belief against that of the Catholic Church. To the Protestant world the Catholic Church has got every single freaking belief wrong except for maybe the Trinity. I gotta believe that there is some intentional setting of PRotestant belief against the Catholic Church. I refuse to believe that the Catholic Church has gotten everything wrong for the last 2000 years.

author didn't use any biblical evidence to prove his claim

The author made no reference to anything needing the bible for proof. His contention is that Clavin, Zwingli, Luther said something. One would not look to the bible to discern what these gentlemen said many centuries later. Likewise one does not look to the bible to determine what President says about foreign monetary policy in 2003.
