179896, maybe she wasn't showing, and J 'came early'

It's not like (despite the star, the angels, and all) they advertised Jesus's true paternity anyway, so whatever explanation was offered would be interesting.

According to catholic and some other doctrines, HE NEVER BANGED. Mary remained a virgin her entire life - the doctrine of perpetual virginity. The idea of Mary's perpetual virginity took root fairly quickly - within the first few centuries after Christ - and has maintained a hold on the Christian imagination ever since.

There's some difficulty over this as the Bible refers to Jesus's brothers but official Catholic doctrine skirts that issue.
