"Mary could not claim to have delivered a child and tell the Jewish priests that His brith was miraculous. Therefore, as far as the world was concerned, she had an "ordinary child" born "naturally," which would make her "impure" for 40 days."

So, "sinless" Mary "lied" and went along with what the law required for "show"?

Silly. She was never asked, as far as I know, just "how" was her Child conceived and how He was born. If she had been asked for some bizarre reason, I am sure she would have told them the truth.
