im having trouble with the belief that mary stayed a virgin. It says in the bible that joseph had no relations with her until after jesus was born .That leads one to believe that she didnt stay a virgin.

If you have any further questions or concerns that are not answered by these links, please contact Catholic Answers directly. You are in my prayers!
