| 9. Catholics go further than mere virgin birth |
|
Fundamentalist Protestants believe that Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus and that she got knocked up by the Holy Ghost. They also believe that Joseph and her had regular marital relations afterwards and that they had more children - including James the Just - that were mentioned in the Bible.
Catholic dogma, however, states that Mary remained a virgin all her life and that "brothers of Jesus" that Bible refers to are either his cousins or children of Joseph with a previous wife.
