– Some Protestants claim that we ignore St. Jerome on Mary because he doesn’t support the Catholic view of her. Is this true?

– Why are Mary and Jesus the only people in heaven who have bodies?

– Why did Mary have Jesus in her womb before she was married to Joseph?

– Regarding Mary’s perpetual virginity. How does the Church interpret Jesus having siblings?

– I’m a new Catholic. If Adam and Eve would they have been assumed like Mary?

– I’m in the process of converting from Protestantism. How early can you go back on Marian veneration and doctrines. I was taught the church absorbed pagan practices to fit saint veneration.

– How could Joseph divorce Mary quietly if everyone would have known since it was such a close-knit community?

– How many times has Mary revealed she was a perpetual virgin in Marian apparitions?
