I guess that is only their right, not others.

I don't see you being silenced.

Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli all endorsed the perpetual virginity of Mary and rejected the idea that she had other children, so I'm at a loss as to how you can frame this as a "Catholic versus Protestant" thing.

You are being intentionally obtuse.

Because there is a world of difference between endorsing the idea Mary remained celibate and believing in Mary's sinless nature and bodily assumption into heaven, neither of which are supported or even inferred in Scripture.
