It says nothing else at all about said virgin remaining a virgin perpetually, nothing about her being sinless or holy, or any of the other stuff associated with Mary.

That is true. But they have to believe it because the Vatican promotes it as truth and they will abide by that. It's group think thereafter.

The catholic leadership has to promote fairy tale idols in order to keep the members occupied with anything and everything "mystical"...it's a distraction from Christ...though they will attach His name to every one they create. Just as the heathen have done for centuries and all other false religions.

They are unable to accept or practice that which does not require fluff and grander of some sort or another....anymore then the heathen who entered the church centuries ago wouldn't....and thus the catholic church gave in to their demands and have carried these on ever since.

You can go to any foreign third world country who practice witchcraft, voodoo, and a host of other heathen practices and find their rituals combined within their catholic churches. The will not put them aside and the catholic leadership allows it....and yet continues to acknowledge these churches as catholic christian churches.

All part of the 1.2 billion faithful, no doubt.
