Why I'm Not Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox: Part VIII | Marian Dogma - Semper Virgo

What this episode covers

Pr. Shannon discusses the perpetual virginity of Mary. Summary: All Christians affirm that Mary was a virgin when she conceived and gave birth to Christ. But did she remain a virgin her whole life? I think one can go either way on this one. And there’s a lot that could be said about it, as much of it comes from a larger body of typological interpretations involving Mary which we will discuss later. I don’t believe she was perpetually a virgin, but I don’t think it’s wrong to believe she was perpetually virgin either as it has a strong historical pedigree and can reasonably be read in harmony with the Scriptures.
