It is a matter of Catholic faith that Mary was a Virgin at the conception and at the birth of Christ, and that she always remained a virgin after the birth of Christ.

Poor ol' frustrated Joseph.

I wonder why he stuck with her all those years.

Mary was NOT a very good Christian for FAILING to be a COMPLETE wife to him.

Jesus, Whose mother you so rudely spoke of, said:

“Judge not, lest ye be judged.”

Chastity according to one’s state in life, and continence in marriage are between the person (s) involved. I understand that these concepts are all but obsolete in popular culture. Not always so in ancient times: continence in marriage was also an offering made to God so that, when the period of continence was ended, a child could be born.
Jesus Christ is an important figure in secular, as well as religious history, and Mary and Joseph as His parent and guardians, respectively, even in the secular world must have been people of character.
Whether from a secular or religious point of view, they deserve more respect than your post gave them. So do the people of faith who regard Jesus as the Son of God and of Mary. Sarcasm and derision are not warranted, thank you.
