Focus upon what the Bible says about Mary being betrothed to Joseph, and what Joseph was told about going ahead and taking Mary as his wife. Catholiciism twists the notion of vows and the Jewish wedding process, betrothal, marriage, so that their institution can elevate the Mother of Jesus to status which empowers the Vatican, not the adherents.

Catholics twist nothing...they just don't make up their own fantasies to attempt to justify what they think might have happened....Protestants, on the other hand, have been free to do that since the 1600's.

And you actually make that claim with a straight face?

Can you say *immaculate conception* and *Perpetual virginity* and *assumption of Mary*?

unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly -
