It's just someone's understanding of the life of Joseph, father of Jesus.

Which on account of a single sentence discussing Jesus's brothers was hijacked by Catholics defending the Perpetual Virginity of the BVM, who are now howling and crying "bashing" because we didn't concede and leave the field.

Of course, we Proddies are the ones risking the ban stick if we offer too spirited a defense of our beliefs.

There's no sense in leaving the field.

We have the stronger case. If there's anything our sola scriptura position does give us, it's a pretty decent understanding of what is and isn't in the scriptures.

What is not in the scriptures is immaculate conception, assumption, and immaculate hymen. (among other things)

What is in the scriptures is a host of verses that leave the most likely conclusion that Jesus had siblings.
