John 19:25
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary [the wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Matthew 27:55-61

55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph,[a] and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

Luke 6:12,16
12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in j prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles: 14 Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; 15 Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot; 16 Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.

James the son of Alphaeus, which is the same as clopas and is marys husband, not Virgin Mary.

Mary, the wife of Clopas was Joses and James mother, James and Joses were named as the brothers of Jesus but Joesph and Mary was not their parents.

As there is more than one Mary in the Bible there is more than one James.

This is why context is your friend in reading the Scriptures and not Roman Catholic dogma.
