got flamed the first time, so here it is again:
If I was Joseph I would not have "taken" her. Would you have?
And by the way, this sort of what would you have done question is used in philosophy. Then, by the heart of a person interested in the good of many, you may see the truth.
I am Catholic.
Did you know that the original language of the books of the bible where it mentions Jesus has brothers and sisters that the word of "cousin" wasn't in use?
And many times all those who followed Him were allowed in His family as brothers and sisters.
Also, the word "until" you read in your english version of the Bible did not have the same conotation in its original language. ("until she gave birth" or something like that is used to prove she had children w/joseph)
Why must I point out, again, that many scholars believe that James was a cousin.
The Bible is explicit, when she concieved she had never "Known" a man.
Joseph may have thought of her more of anothers wife.
