For those Idiotic Protestants who still Accuse Our Blessed Mother of Not Being a Virgin .

First take a look at the bible.....
1 Corinthians 15:6 (NRSVCE)

⁢Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.

OBVIOUSLY JESUS DIDN'T HAVE 500 BROTHERS .

The reason being the New Testament was written in Greek and ... Greek and Aramaic Both have No Word equivalent for "Cousin". And they substitute the word Brother(Adelphos) as the closest possible term . Even today in English we Call People "Bro" or "Brother" , This not make them Our Real Uterine brothers Obviously 😁. So this is again Protestants being Stupid .

Even Calvin used to establish the fact of Mary’s perpetual virginity, which he believed (based primarily on Scripture alone),as did Luther, Zwingli, Bullinger, and many later prominent, theologically conservative, and scholarly Protestants (such as John Wesley).

By comparing Matthew 27:56, Mark 15:40, and John 19:25, we find
that James and Joseph β€” mentioned in Matthew 13:55 with Simon and
Jude as Jesus’ β€œbrothers” β€” are also called sons of Mary, wife of
Clopas. This other Mary (Matthew 27:61, 28:1) is called our Lady’s adelphe in John 19:25 (it isn’t likely that there were two women
named β€œMary” in one family β€” thus even this usage apparently means
β€œcousin” or more distant relative).


"ἀδΡλφοί / Ξ±Ξ΄Ξ΅Ξ»Ο†ΟŒΟ‚" (adelphoi/Adelphous) may have well been the Word used for "Brothers/Brother" in Greek Both for Blood brothers and Cousins . But when "συγγΡνΡῦσιν" (syngeneusin) is Applied.... It always Means A Cousin or Relative And Never and a Blood Brother!!


Matthew 13:55-56 and Mark 6:3
mention Simon, Jude, and β€œsisters” along with James and Joseph,
calling all adelphoi. Since we know for sure that at least James and
Joseph are not Jesus’ blood brothers, the most likely interpretation of
Matthew 13:55 is that all these β€œbrothers” are cousins, according to the linguistic conventions discussed above.
At Chalcedon, Pope St Leo the Great was the one who drafted the main document, the Tome, and it was widely hailed by the bishops in attendance as masterful defense of orthodoxy. Pope Leo the Great's authoritative role at the council exemplifies the recognition of Roman Supremacy. His "Tome" was accepted as a standard of orthodoxy, and his legates presided over the council, affirming the pope's authority . To Quote Session II of the Acts of the Council records:

β€œAfter the reading of the foregoing epistle [The Tome of Leo], the most reverend bishops cried out: β€˜This is the faith of the fathers! This is the faith of the apostles! So we all believe! Thus the orthodox believe! Anathema to him who does not thus believe! Peter has spoken thus through Leo! . . . This is the true faith! Those of us who are orthodox thus believe! This is the faith of the Fathers!’” (Acts of the Council, session 2 [A.D. 451]).
Papal Supremacy has always been there since the early Church. But sadly the orthodoxes aren't able to grasp it's true meaning. The Pope is Servei Servum Dei. The successor of the Prince of the Apostles.

Is Peter the Rock or Christ?

Peter is the visible head of the Church, and Christ the invisible eternal Head of the Church. But these two are one, so that the Church does not have two heads. This mystical unity between Christ and His Vicar is crucial to the understanding of the Roman Pontiff as the head of the Church, the body of Christ.

Pius XII: β€œChrist and His Vicar constitute one only Head” of the one Church [Mystical Body of Christ 40]. Other sources (Unam Sanctam; Roman Catechism) say the same thing, with Pope Boniface in Unam Sanctam rejecting out right that the Church has two heads (β€œlike a monster”). Peter (and each successor) is the visible head, and Christ the eternal (invisible, we say) Head, but their unity gives the Pope divine authority, despite being a fallen sinner with a limited earthly reign.

Peter (and each successor) is the visible Rock and Christ is the eternal invisible Rock. And so, just as the clearly taught mystical unity between Christ and His Vicar constitutes one only Head, not two, this same mystical unity constitutes one only Rock: Christ and the Roman Pontiff. As for Peter, β€œfor ever he lives and presides and exercises judgment in his successors the bishops of the Holy Roman See, which he founded and consecrated with his blood” (Pastor Aeternus 2, 2), and so Peter never ceases to be the Rock, in the sense that he presides through his successors.

Leo XIII teaches in Satis Cognitum 12:

β€œAnd since all Christians must be closely united in the communion of one immutable faith, Christ the Lord, in virtue of His prayers, obtained for Peter that in the fulfilment of his office he should never fall away from the faith. β€œBut I have asked for thee that thy faith fail not” (Luke xxii., 32), and He furthermore commanded him to impart light and strength to his brethren as often as the need should arise: β€œConfirm thy brethren” (Ibid.). He willed then that he whom He had designated as the foundation of the Church should be the defense of its faith. β€œCould not Christ who confided to him the Kingdom by His own authority have strengthened the faith of one whom He designated a rock to show the foundation of the Church?” (S. Ambrosius, De Fide, lib. iv., n. 56).

β€œFor this reason Jesus Christ willed that Peter should participate in certain names, signs of great things which properly belong to Himself alone: in order that identity of titles should show identity of power. So He who is Himself β€œthe chief corner-stone in whom all the building being framed together, groweth up in a holy temple in the Lord” (Eph. ii., 21), placed Peter as it were a stone to support the Church. β€œWhen he heard β€˜thou art a rock,’ he was ennobled by the announcement. Although he is a rock, not as Christ is a rock, but as Peter is a rock. For Christ is by His very being an immovable rock; Peter only through this rock. Christ imparts His gifts, and is not exhausted…. He is a priest, and makes priests. He is a rock, and constitutes a rock” (Hom. de Poenitentia, n. 4 in Appendice opp. S. Basilii [attributed to St. Basil])

Pope Leo XIII teaches that Christ is the Rock on which the Church is founded, just as Christ is also the Head of the Church. But Peter and his successors are each Rock and Head due to their mystical unity with Christ. Peter is Head and Rock only through Christ. Since the Church is the body of Christ, Peter alone cannot be its Head; Christ must be the Head of His own body. But Christ gifted the Church with a visible Head, united to himself as one Head, and the same for the foundational Rock of the Church. That Rock is Peter and his successors, not Peter alone historically, but Peter in his successors. But Peter can only be the foundational Rock of the Body of Christ through Christ, the Cornerstone of the Church. These are not two different roles, Cornerstone and Rock. Rather, Christ is the Rock or Cornerstone (in Hebrew β€œHead of the Corner”) and so is Peter, through his mystical unity with Christ.
My friends
If you spend more time here than in Church, we aren’t solving anything
Go to Adoration, Daily Masses, Confession, speak to your Priest about your vocation, there should be no reason why you shouldn’t know your Priests name and vice versa.

Get off this app and pray the Rosary

I can post a million Reasons why to be Catholic
But if you don’t put it in action everything is pointless
