Was watching the Midnight Mass with my wife last night, as she was raised in the Catholic tradition, and when the priest asserted that Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus, my wife snorted uncontrollably - "I'll bet her hymen broke before he came out!" she whispered to me. Is this not a fair point? Just exactly how far does the idea of a virgin birth remain credible, even if we accept divine impregnation? Or was the Caesarean section widely available in Bethlehem?
