I agree with the Protestants, I think James was Jesus' son, and I think he had other brothers and sisters. The Roman Catholics don't believe this because then it would mean that Mary is just like any other woman, and not a "holy perpetual virgin" that they can worship.

Mary is not worshipped, as she is not divine. She is venerated.

Whether step-brother or cousin to Jesus, it doesn't matter. James was a close relative. He was from the same house. Mary did not birth him. We do know from scripture that Jesus came from a large family where all relatives were considered brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles. Exact geneology doesn't matter.

You do mean Joseph's son correct?... James was Jesus' half-brother via Mary.

I don't think you mean "Jesus'" son. How 'bout Joseph's? :) Other brothers would include Joses and Jude.

That's a slap across the face of Gabriel, Elizabeth, and God.

Luke 1:28, 30 Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you...Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God."

Luke 1: 42...and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirt, cired out in a loud voice ad said,"Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb."

What? That's a new one on me. We must not hang around the same Protestants.

It's just a typo, but that is the most blasphemous thing I have ever read.

I can't stop laughing.

I read a book titled "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" that suggests that Mary and Jesus family escaped to what is now southern France and the family line can be traced to this day. Interesting book.
