Perhaps St. Jerome is less studied in ancient languages than you.

And that's where Catholicism's argument falls apart on this issue.

The Greek does not support Rome's claims to Mary's perpetual virginity.

Perhaps your interpretation of the Greek is wrong. Jerome was the most respected linguist of the day, fluent in the languages he translated from.

Additionally, English doesn’t do such a hot job with many Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic words.
