re: #204 LudwigVanQuixote

Wait, not my book, but didn’t he have brothers like James?

Yes. Some theories hold that the brothers are Mary and Joseph’s children, others that they may be Joseph’s sons by a previous marriage. (Tradition suggests that he was considerably older than Mary.)

Personally, I like the idea that Mary got to have a happy sex life after Jesus was born. The woman went through a lot. Being able to sleep with your husband is really the least you can expect after taking on being the mother of God.
