In direct defiance of what Paul wrote; Rome’s ‘Mary’ is described as PERMANENTLY abstaining; while her husband is permanently deprived; even of NFP.
”Defiance?” As in disobeying an order? Really?

So you’re saying that somewhere in Paul’s writings he states irrefutably that Mary and Joseph had marital relations? Pray tell, how did he know this, seeing that he was not around at the time. Did God tell him?
I’m always curious as to why it is so important to you and others whether or not they did. As a Catholic, I prefer to believe that being the mother of the Son of God was a life-altering event that superseded a normal ho-hum existence. You prefer to believe that Mary was in no way affected by the experience and proceeded with life as if nothing unusual happened. That’s fine - but how does believing one or the other make a difference in your relationship with God and why does it trigger you so?
