You should believe as you choose. However, I choose to believe that which the Church proposes for belief.

Those teachings include the perpetual virginity of Mary, as well as Jesus being an only child.

The notions that Mary was not a perpetual virgin, as well as additional children (step or otherwise), were around and refuted in the 8th century.

However, some seem to think a re-hash is novel, as is their interpretation. Neither of which is true.

Not sure what you are saying but if Jesus had step brothers Mary would have had step Children.

But I do believe Jesus was her only child.

As for the perpetual virginity I have no idea.

Actually I do not choose to believe anything, I just see it the way I see it.
