He said that Joseph AND Mary adopted Jesus when he was born—and NEITHER one was his parent.

Catechism 969:

“Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation”

[Arthur McGowan]

Nonsense.

Jesus had relatives, “brothers” in some translations. Possibly cousins, possibly sons of Joseph by a previous wife. But there is NO assertion anywhere in Scripture that Joseph fathered children by Mary. Absolutely none.

At the Annunciation, Mary said, “...I know not man...” I.e., she had taken a vow of virginity, and she DID NOT EXPECT to be having relations with Joseph. There is no suggestion anywhere that the vow was violated.
