St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary lived very chaste lives.

Integrity, godliness, and chastity between spouses requires normal intercourse. Jesus did not grow up in a dysfunctional home, presided over by a pair of frauds in a sham marriage.

Have you forgotten that Catholics view the Blessed Virgin Mary as Immaculate? Perpetually a virgin??

So did many of the original reformers. Maybe you are unaware of this:

Luther, Calvin, and Other Early Protestants on the Perpetual Virginity of Mary

The Protestant Reformers on the Virgin Mary
