The St. James Epistle - not in the canon of the Evangelium - was however decisive for one great difference between Catholic and Evangelic sight of Holy Mary. Fact is, that Luther’s verdict over The St. James Epistle was devastating. He called it a Straw Epistle, and from then on the verdict was spoken. NOT WORTH WHILE READING!
The other effect was, the all the closer loving devotion of Catholics to Holy Mary. Surprising, for all protesters, protestants, reformers or whatever they are called were Catholics, they sure had that devotion and outmost veneration and honoring of Holy Mary.
Many say that veneration of Holy Mary, is a completely secondary aspect of faith.
However, it is not because Mary did have a child, which then grew up in an outstanding wisdom and strength, even able to teach the scribes as a child. Jesus the infant wasn’t any Child, nor brother to any further Child of Holy Mary. he who thinks Holy Mary did have other children, has no idea of Holy Mary, who was involved in the incarnation of God - the Son of God. This was communicated to her by God the Father himself, by His supreme Angel Gabriel.
Brosters or other siblings of Jesus are lovingly recalled to belittle and bring into derision Holy Mary’s perpetual virginity. Our Church of course and for good reasons so, never saw in James and other Saints, physical siblings of Jesus - see RCC 400. St. James’ mother was either a sister or a close relative of the Blessed Virgin, and for that reason, according to custom of the time, he was called Brother of the Lord as so many are named „Brother of Christ“. James is the son of Zebedee, and together with his brother John, by Christ named as the „Thunder-Sons“ as both where rather „thundering“. Mark 3,17.
Could it be even be possible for the world to ignore the recipient of any little message from God? Here, in Holy Mary’s case, it even was not „only" a direct message of God as many Prophets received, but it was the announcement of the incarnation of Jesus directly from God - God the Father for His begotten Son Jesus Christ, who was God in God even before His human birth, during His human childhood and adolescence even then, as He was and lived before all times.
OK my English fails here, but any language fails to describe what here actually happened. To this Holy Virging a well as to the World.
