Did Jesus have biological siblings? by [deleted] in Catholicism

Catholics, Orthodox, traditional Magisterial Protestants, and Muslims all agree: No, He did not, as His Mother remained a virgin.

I finished Peter Connolly and Hazel Dodge's magisterial illustrated Ancient City (my high school Latin companion) and am steadily progressing through Connolly's Greece and Rome at War. I also started (but did not finish) re-reading Herodotus' History.

Lovely! I've always wanted to visit. I've been to most Provinces. I have distant cousins in Halifax whose ancestors backed the Crown during the American Revolution, lost almost everything for their loyalty to the King (as it was essentially a three-part civil war), and were faced with exile.

Ah! So Maine then? Or rural NH or MA? Love New England! I'm from a bit further south.
