The perpetual virginity of Mary is unnecessary to fulfill scripture. The scripture was fulfilled when Jesus was BORN of a virgin.

Agreed. The virgin birth was all about Jesus and His divinity and fulfillment of Messianic prophecy. The "perpetual" virginity makes it all about Mary and has NOTHING to do with Scriptural fulfillment.

As are all of the marian dogmas. It’s all part of the worship of the Catholic Mary who is not Mary of the bible.
