What is this creepy protestant obsession with Mary's hymen?
It's creepy, alright, but it's not coming from the Protestants, but from Rome. No one would have thought two seconds about it until Rome concocted the ridiculous, blasphemous error that somehow Mary's hymen was still intact after the birth of Christ.
What a God-awful pretense. What a denial of Christ's humanity. What an idolatrous, bogus pretension to foist off on the mother of Christ.
To base such anti-Scriptural nuttiness on a few words by Aquinas and the ravings of Pope Paul IV's "Cum quorundam" at the Council of Trent is ludicrous.
It's the RCC who is preoccupied with Mary's supposed intact virginity after the birth of Christ. I guess the RCC would have to make these idiotic claims for it to believe all the rest of the blasphemy that followed.
