There are few things in the Catholic faith that confuse me more than the idea of Mary, the Virgin Mother. The fact that she was a holy woman, there’s no doubting that. You don’t get to be the Mother of God without being a worthy person. A good person: obviously. A good mother: most likely. A good wife: only if she didn’t remain a virgin for the remainder of her marriage.
