You've bought completely into "sola scriptura", which does NOT have "the whole story", and is, in fact, itself un-Biblical.

So the Bible is un-Biblical.

Right. Got it.

Try actually reading what the Catholic Church has to say on the subject with an open mind.

My mind is pretty open. But it's not so open that I'll believe what some guy who was born 400 hundred years after Mary died says about her vagina.

You might just be surprised as to how logical (and how backed by scripture)

Logic tells me that since no one who was there at the time wrote about her vaginal condition we have no evidence one way or the other. And didn't you just tell me that what I was looking for wasn't in Scripture?

So you don't believe it.

Go your way and be content with your belief.

"So the Bible is un-Biblical."

Inaccurate. "Sola scriputra" is un-Biblical. Both St. Paul and St. John specifically say so in their gospels.

"My mind is pretty open. But it's not so open that I'll believe what some guy who was born 400 hundred years after Mary died says about her vagina."

And suppose that "guy" was relating teachings passed on by St. John??

Logic tells me that since no one who was there at the time wrote about her vaginal condition we have no evidence one way or the other.

Both Mary herself and St.John were there. After all, she lived with him for decades more after Christ's death. I'm SURE they might have had a conversation or two about him and his birth during that time.

"And didn't you just tell me that what I was looking for wasn't in Scripture?

Read the teachings from Catholic sources. You'd be surprised by exactly how much "is" in scripture. It's in the same class as the Triune godhead, which, if you actually claim to be a Christian, you profess to believe. That ain't taught directly in Scripture either, bro. It's a logical inference from things that ARE taught in Scripture.
