xzins: this truly is the first time ever in my entire life that I've encountered the teaching that Mary did not physically deliver Christ through her birth canal

Kolokotronis: New for me too, Padre. I've never heard such a foolish thing

You have been taught that Thetokos delivered thrugh a birth canal?

[Kolokotronis]

"You have been taught that Thetokos delivered thrugh a birth canal?"

How else? Has my education been deficient in some manner?

[xzins]

We've now got some on this thread saying that Jesus was not of Mary's seed. We have some saying that Jesus did not pass through the birth canal. We know that Jesus was not of Joseph's seed.

The question then becomes this: "In what way can we begin remotely to derive the idea that Jesus was fully human?"

This sounds like a gnostic preservation of Jesus "actually not" being human. Anyone who teaches this is unaware of gnostic influences that have entered their theology.

How is this not what John warns us of, "those who deny that Jesus came in the flesh?"

Excuse me for jumping in here, I'm just trying to catch up. Is it RCC's teaching that in addition to Mary not suffering birth pains and her hymen not being broken that Jesus was not delivered through her birth canal?

I've never heard this before.
