It is your intepretation that the language in question is plain language.
It means she was a virgin and the angel told her she would be with child before they were married!
It is your interpretation that it means only that. It is annalex's interpretation that it means more than that.
So the response in no way whatsoever means she was indicating she would always be a virgin.
That's your interpretation.

No, it's an observation.
" It is your interpretation that it means only that. It is annalex's interpretation that it means more than that."
The plain language is very clear and so is the bandwagon straw.

"That's your interpretation."
I guess reasonable discourse only applies if one agrees that Catholic doctrine is the truth. Sorry, no dice. When it doesn't stand up rationally to what is written as God's word and/or reality itself, it's not the truth. It's simply popular opinion, traditional, or otherwise.
