Do Luke's and Matthew's nativity stories contradict one another

[TMC]

Billions of Christians ‘find’ no such thing…

The Gospel is as a Guide to Eternal Life…

One could never gain FAITH with such an unacceptable to Catholicism/Christianity ‘approach’.

Really? I know a lot of Christians that have no problem whatsoever with my statement. Probably “Billions” of Christians, in fact. Why would you deny that I (and so many other Christians) can have faith without adopting your interpretation of those particular passages? Seems like a pretty narrow view of faith.

I find that the narratives are inconsistent, and in some cases contradictory.

Inconsistent with the Teachings of The Catholic Church…

There are a couple different views of Matthew’s & Luke’s genealogy. Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History claims that both are of Joseph’s genealogy - Matthew’s being natural, Luke’s by adoption:

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ (by Eusebius)

There is an alternative theory that Matthew’s is of Joseph’s, while Luke’s is of Mary’s. I used to have the YouTube video, but it must have been deleted. Either way, there is no contradiction.
