I’m addressing the topic of the thread, the perpetual virginity of blessed Mary, mother of “God with us” according to twenty centuries of unbroken holy tradition in the one holy catholic apostolic church.

Which apparently is not a correct assertion on your part.

There was no full consensus on the doctrine of perpetual virginity within the early Church by the end of the second century, e.g. Tertullian (c.160 – c.225) did not teach the doctrine (although he taught virgin birth), but Irenaeus (c.130 – c.202) taught perpetual virginity, along with other Marian themes.[37] Origen (185-254) was emphatic on the issue of the brothers of Jesus, and stated that he believed them to have been the children of Joseph from a previous marriage.[45] However, wider support for the doctrine began to appear within the next century.[37]

Nice dodge. If you're going to claim the Greek Orthodox are correct regarding the perpetual virginity then you have to admit they are correct regarding the pope.

You can't play it both ways.
