Again, the early church knew this and had no problem with it. It is only the critics of today who narrow their vision into a literalness and require this to be a "contradiction" when in reality we have an explanation that is more than sufficient.

Great quote. The early church also knew that Mary remained a virgin.

How early? The church announced Mary as the Mother of God sometime in 3-400 ad. Don't start at Rome, Constananople or Cantebury for your church history. Start at Jerusalem in the first century. You'll find nary a peep about Mary remaining a virgin back then.

You guy keep equating the big "C" with the early church. It doesn't compute. You even had to make your popes retroactive.
