billboard shows mary & joseph in bed together

Yes, she was...according to the Catholic Church.

True! However, it is not just the Catholic Church. Even Martin Luther embraced her perpetual virginity, it was never an issue, until about the last 100 years or so...and even only then in more fundamental sects.

But...you're right...its far too big of a topic for a visajourney board...even OT.

Hey brother Mark. It's interesting because according to the Catholic Church, a couple isn't living as husband and wife until they consummate the marriage. So I'm wondering what the Church would say about Joseph and Mary's relationship?

Can you imagine what their family and neighbours thought of it?

The billboard or that Mary and Joseph weren't having sex?

p.s. I hate this new ####### format of only replying to one quote.

I'm holding off on making any criticism of it for now. It certainly has a shock value to it and gets you to think.

And I suppose a billboard with MartinLuther King in bed with one of his Mistresses might also claim

to "open up dialog" about the high number of Black children born without fathers around".

Offensive billboards never open up dialog, they only turn groups on each other.

You mean, in this case, the Anglican church "versus" who? what?

Just show Danno a shiny object and he'll go off into a corner to play with himself.

The person in the original post article says they did it to lampoon and ridicule an idea...how is that supposed to make people want to have a nice discussion about it? I'm not going to go into the whole debate about Mary having other children(which I also believe and don't believe she remained a virgin), but I don't know how the billboard will cause nice dialogue with people that believe in what they are "lampoon and ridiculing". (oops major typos)

Are you really questioning the validity of the anglican church?

Would it matter if he was? While lots of people are questioning lots of things. I'll guess you are just joking then.

Any chances you could answer my question instead of trying to be a smartazz?
