I was thinking about that earlier and my guess is that the Catholics will insist that Mary bore Jesus in a pre-pubescence state and then immediately went through menopause after Jesus was miraculoulsly delivered in a bloodless and painless supernatural "walk-though-the-uterine-wall" Caesarian delivery.
Hence the title of "unclean" could never have attached to Mary because she never had a period and never had a blood issue.
It's all part of the "Immaculate Hymen" doctrine. Since I suspect that the pope is a lurker, I expect a papal ex-cathedra declaration on this subject any day now.
You guys are very quickly making this into an "Adults Only" thread. I had to disenable my Parental Control just to get to the site.
By the way, has their been any discussion on Phil. 2:5-8, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
John 17:5, "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."
From Matthew Henry, "That Jesus Christ in his state of humiliation divested himself of this glory, and drew a veil over it; though he was still God, yet he was God manifested in the flesh, not in his glory. He laid down this glory for a time, as a pledge that he would go through with his undertaking, according to the appointment of his Father."
Mary was the mother of Jesus (His human nature, not His Divine nature) the nature He voluntarily took on to bring redemption to fallen man and the world according to the plan of the father.
