See, I knew you only posted this thread NOT to discuss the subject but to present what you probably thought was an airtight open and closed defense of your "case". Your boastful presumption added to your posting history has resulted in just another warmed over, stale rehashing of what others have written books on - and you conclude those who disagree with your case do so because we "don't care about the truth". What gall! I do hope you didn't imagine you would change anyone's mind.
Please remember it actually takes intelligence to convert to the Catholic Church, it only takes hurt feelings to leave.
I trust I will see similar comments from you when metmom makes her regular (Daily?) "Studying God’s Word ping"
I wrote and posted this for two reasons:
1) It is the absolute unvarnished truth that needed to be said and heard.
2) Not one of you can say that "There is no scriptural backing for the Catholic belief in the perpetual virginity of Mary."
If you are honest the very most you can say is: "There is scriptural backing, we just choose to read/ interpret it differently."
