Bible Note: Magnum, You wrote: "But the stance of the Catholic church is that these are spiritual brothers and sisters, and that Mary remained a virgin," The second part of your statement is accurate. The first part is not. The Catholic stance is not that they are spiritual brothers but that they are kinsmen or cousins since there is no specific word in Hebrew for an immediate blood brother to differentiate form a cousin. The Greek word in the NT is the same word used in the Septuagint Greek translation of the OT in many places to discribe both immediate brothers and other kinsmen. Emmaus |
