[Magdalen] A question for you... I am curious...

Hi everyoneI was listening to the praise sections of the service on Sunday and I heard the priest say "Blessed by Saint JosephChaste husband of Mary." Now correct me if I am wrong but somewhere in the New Testament (is it the book of Acts?)it  tells us that Jesus was somewhere and His brothers and sisters were also there... Is the theory that Joseph was mucholder than Mary and that he had children from a previous marriage? and that they remained chaste within the marriage?The theory of the Perpetual Virgin Mary... ?? How do they come up with that?? The thing I also don't get is how they figure that Mary just went up into heaven??
As I am sitting here depressed beyond belief over 2000 dollars of car repair bills I need some distractions...
Let's talk about this...
The Adoration was full of pomp and pageantry and holiness... The incense filled the air. By the time I got throughservice two I was sniffling away... I must be allergic to that!!
