God is Truth. Whatever is a lie is not of God.

Teaching that Mary was always a virgin is a lie because Scripture is very clear that she didn’t remain a virgin after Jesus was born, that she and Joseph had normal marital relations and other children as a result.

So, just why is it that Catholics are so fixated on Mary’s alleged perpetual virginity to the point of teaching it as a fact, contrary to Scripture?

I think its because they consider sex within marriage dirty, certainly not Godly and Mary would never do that.

Combine that with the surrounding cultural goddess worship, hundreds of years of traditions of men, medival superstitions, biblical neglect and VOILA!
