I wasn't trying to say you were WRONG; but showing how the RCC seems to be able to conjure things up out of thin air; claiming WE wuz first; therefore we is RIGHT!
No, you were arguing facts which weren't relevant. I know you disagree with the tradition, but agreeing and disagreeing are not what was at issue. The claim was that the Bible directly contradicts the tradition, which is not true. My post had nothing to do with your "we wuz first . . ." commentary. It was a response to a direct assertion which was erroneous. And, BTW, the Church conjured nothing up out of thin air. What I have posted regarding St. Joseph is an ancient tradition. You can reject it if you want, and I wouldn't argue with that, but it is not made up out of thin air.
Who decides whether they are relevant or not?
Just because a reply is addressed to a certain person; the unknown other readers are always in the back of my mind when I compose my responses.

Oh?
Then in my haste to run my opinions across the pages of FR; I missed my error. What was it again?
