In bringing forth Christ and giving Him to the world, Mary also suffered greatly, as prophesied by Simeon

Yes, I know that, but the imagery in Revelation 12 specifically says that pain accompanied the birth of the child. Now, it’s pretty straightforward here. Roman dogma says that Mary gave birth without pain. In fact they teach that there was no damage whatsoever to her birth canal, no tearing of her hymen, etc. If that’s all true, why then should be believe that Revelation 12 is about Mary who suffered no pain according to Romish mythology.

Yes, I know that.

And I've explained that "the woman" is the Church. And the Child is those whom the Church brings forth.

All you're saying is that you disagree.

Any thoughts on Jerome?

In sales that is called a “Big Fat Claim” (BFC). It is a very effective tool, IF YOU CAN PROVE IT.
