This is called a Josephite Marriage.

That's a pretty neat invention. But it is just that - an invention. It cannot be found anywhere in Scripture.

Mary bore Joseph several sons according to scripture, having sexual relations with her UNTIL after the Son of God was born. There was no prohibition given to Joseph in his angelic dream to abstain permanently. So, even this invention doesn't apply to its namesake.

Mary bore Joseph several sons according to scripture, having sexual relations with her UNTIL after the Son of God was born.

I assume that you meant NOT having relations in the above quotation.

This thread was not supposed to devolve into an attack on Catholicism. A question was asked, and I answered it.

Of course, since you insist on using your English translation, with all of it's exactitude, by your reasoning, the line

"The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?",

that once the "my Lord's" enemies are his footstool, that He would no longer sit at the right hand of the Lord? (cf. Matthew 22:44,Mark 12:36)

We are working together towards defeating liberals, take your Catholic baiting elsewhere.
