Mary had other children, Jesus's brothers and sisters.

Please refer me to any Biblical citation where anyone other than Jesus is referred to as a child of Mary.

I know you disagree with the identification, but

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us? (Mark 6:3)

There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salo'me (Mark 15:40)

I'm sure the RC system has a pat answer to explain this away. Perhaps His "brothers" and "sisters" weren't Mary's children. Maybe they were His half-siblings, by Joseph and a different woman. Perhaps the terms "brothers" and "sisters" were used in a generic sense, such that these people are merely his kin. Maybe they're not blood relations, but spiritual brothers and sisters.

The system is consistent. Whatever it takes, the objective is to support a blind adherence to the perverted Gospel. Whether speaking of the written word or the Word made flesh, the Word of God is entirely insufficient.

It's in the book that references the Immaculate Conception and Bodily Assumption. Did you miss it?
