The Madonna Complex (Jesus did not Have Siblings) and a Capacity for Same-Sex Attraction

This is a continuation of Mother-Son Sexual Abuse and Creating a Capacity for Same-Sex Attraction. In this episode, I share that growing up Catholic taught me that Mary remained a virgin all of her life. The scripture that refutes this is Matthew 1:25. Scriptures that tell us that Jesus had brothers and sisters were explained away by claiming that the Hebrew word for brothers and sisters can also mean cousins. Check out these verses that confirm that Jesus had sisters and brothers: Matthew 12: 46-47 and 13:55-5; Mark 6:3; and John 7:3-5. The Madonna Complex denies Mary's sexuality as God-given, and it whispers that good women, those who model after Mary, do not enjoy sex. I saw it played out in my family and neighborhood by men having adulterous affairs with "whores," who aren't like Mary. At home, their Mary-like wives were more like "baby-making machines," instead of a human being who can enjoy sex the same as men. Not wanting to turn a woman into a whore if she was aggressive in seducing me, and there were a few, I turned to men. Email: [email protected]
