I've also heard of the Assumption of Mary, but I didn't realize that was the belief she was taken body and soul into heaven. I guess the pope just decided this in the 1950s.

They also believed she never sinned, ever. Impossible. Only God is this infallible.

He was an old man that was more of a guardian than a husband. Remember in 13bc women had no rights. If they weren’t married, they were with their family. If a woman wasn’t a virgin, she legally couldn’t get married. If she was found to not be a virgin on her wedding night, that was a death penalty. As I had said in a previous comment, she was given to the temple. I got this from the Gospel of St. Luke.

Like how old? I mean, I'm not exactly a young guy anymore, but I still like to hit it.

Haha amen to that. To be honest, I’m not sure. I am assuming since they got married once the menstruated she was probably 12 or 13. He had a previous wife and other kids that were adults, so probably 50s-60s. Mary’s cousin Elizabeth and Aaron (St. John the Forerunner’s parents) were in their 80s.

edit I looked it up and some early Church writings put St. Joseph in his 80’s.
