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

Matthew 13
⁵⁴When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? ⁵⁵Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?"

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.

Only Jesus is referreed to here as a child of Mary.

Please, don't bother trying again.
