is the account of mary’s birth and youth in the book of james, also called the protevangelion, considered to be accurate by the church? I know it is not considered part of the bible, but is it considered acceptable or heritical ?

Accurate in doctrine ? historical detail ? in some other way ?​

It was condemned at Rome in the fifth century. But this did not prevent it becoming very popular;

In the article on ‘Apocrapha’ in the 1912 Catholic Encyclopedia, the Protoevangelium of James is classified as an apocraphal gospel of Catholic origin. I take this to mean it is a pious work of Catholic fiction. Nothing in it is inconsistant with the Catholic faith but that doesn’t mean everything in it actually happened.
