No comment on #222?

Ok then...

I suppose I overlooked it in the hustle and bustle. It seems you were asking me what error I was responding to? Is that right? If so, it was that the Bible directly contradicts the tradition which holds that St. Joseph was an elderly widower when he married the Blessed Virgin, and that the brothers and sisters of the Lord were his children from that previous marriage. That is why they are called the brothers and sisters of the Lord, because they were. I hope that clarifies it for you.

My mistake here.

I went back and re-read all the replies in this line of thought and found I’d jumped in with commenting in the middle of a discussion you were having with others.

I mistakenly thought you said that I had made an error.

My ‘thin air’ assertion has been challenged.

Since I’ve not seen the DATA behind the reason the CHURCH decided to teach that Joseph was ‘elderly’; I’ll continue in my Unbelief of church ‘tradition’.

Well; we ARE in agreement here; just differ upon the source of these 'brothers and sister'.
