I have no idea why the Catholic Church makes believe to all the Catholics that Mary is, or was, “ever” virgin. This is a blatant fallacy of the Church mainly directed towards women. After Mary had Jesus she got married to Joseph and according to the canon the Church, if the marriage is not consummated, the sacrament of matrimony is null and void (the Church defines sexual relations with the wife as a consummation of the marriage). The Church makes women believe that Mary could not consummate the marriage with Joseph because the title of “ever” virgin would disappear immediately. So, in order to make believe that she was “ever” virgin, her matrimony was a sham. Besides, in the Bible it is mentioned more than one time that Jesus had brothers and sisters. According to the Church, “brothers and sisters” could be cousins or any other kind of relatives, and not necessarily real brothers and sisters with the same parents. Why people believe this fallacy is beyond my understanding. Please do not hesitate to review or refute this statement of fact.
