The earliest Church Fathers taught that Jesus had Stepbrothers. Jerome says no, they were cousins.
Which explanation is the truth? It can't be multiple choice.
Does Jerome prove the early Fathers wrong or should Jerome be labeled a heretic for teaching different from the earlier Fathers?
Maybe in catholicism it doesn't matter if 2 views are 180 degrees apart as long as they both support what you believe?
Since we are told that the Catholic Church is the sole deposit of truth and led by the Spirit to interpret scripture please tell me which explanation is correct.
The appologists would see the problem here.
Or they might try and qualify how the church is sole deposit of truth when X but not Y. Then next week when Y and not X.
Hocus Pocus.
