IIRC, there are four named individuals who are referred to in the gospels as “brothers” of Jesus, and the parents of three of them are named—and the parents are not Joseph and Mary. I would think that that would settle the question of whether “brother” always denotes a full sibling.

Are you aware of how JEWISH families dealt with the sudden death of a father in a home with many little children and partially grown children? Well, here's what was commonly done: uncles and aunts would take in some of the children, usually the children grown enough to help with family work, and then the mother with still small babes would be supported by the extended family while the little ones were raised.

Why would you ignore eyewitness testimony which states Mary and the BROTHERS of Jesus came to where HE was teaching, asking to have a word with HIM? Wny? ... Because you want to twist scripture, GOD's WORD, to support the CATHOLIC dogma of demigoddess status for Mary.

You presume there is only one James in all of The land of the NT. Same for the other names.

The four brothers are always noted to be His brothers based on the Greek. They are included in the household of Joseph and Mary when mentioned in Mark 6:3.

Again, what did they teach you in seminary? Y'all did use the Bible....at least some times....right??

There is ONE man addressed as SATAN by Jesus.

I would think that that would settle the question of whether Catholicism is the One True Church or not.
