This C-section birth was so vital to preserve Mary's Hymen so she was still an eternal virgin?

DougLawrence, so how did Jesus came out from Mary's womb according to Catholics doctrines?

But did they call it a Cesarean section back then? Or was it the Aramaic translation of "cut her stomach open and pull that kid out!"
Protestants, of course, don't believe in the miraculous C-section. They just have faith that God teleported Jesus into the manger. And it didn't hurt Mary and Jesus opened his eyes and said "Blessed be the Vulcans, for they shall truly know my kingdom."
Amen.

A virgin is someone who has not experienced sexual intercourse.
Therefore Mary gave birth to Jesus in the usual way and remained a virgin.
The miracle was in the conception of Jesus.
With love in Christ.

where did you hear that
it is nonsense
being a virgin means you havent had sex
not that your hymen is intact or not
peoples hymens can be broken easily by accident , even if you have never had sex
and what C section ? she supposedly gave birth in a stable
and she had more children after Jesus , so she was not eternally a virgin
the miracle was in the first birth , thats it

IN BRIEF
508 From among the descendants of Eve, God chose the Virgin Mary to be the mother of his Son. "Full of grace", Mary is "the most excellent fruit of redemption" (SC 103): from the first instant of her conception, she was totally preserved from the stain of original sin and she remained pure from all personal sin throughout her life.
509 Mary is truly "Mother of God" since she is the mother of the eternal Son of God made man, who is God himself.
510 Mary "remained a virgin in conceiving her Son, a virgin in giving birth to him, a virgin in carrying him, a virgin in nursing him at her breast, always a virgin" (St. Augustine, Serm. 186, 1: PL 38, 999): with her whole being she is "the handmaid of the Lord" (Lk 1:38).
511 The Virgin Mary "cooperated through free faith and obedience in human salvation" (LG 56). She uttered her yes "in the name of all human nature" (St. Thomas Aquinas, STh III, 30, 1). By her obedience she became the new Eve, mother of the living.

I am curious why they would think it was necessary to take Jesus out rather than him being born normally?
