The Catholic church teaches that the Mary in these passages is the mother of Jesus, but Jesus brothers and sisters are children of another woman also named Mary. The children are so clearly the offspring of the "Mary" of this passage, that the Pope has come to the conclusion is must be a different Mary! Incredible!

Mary only had 1 child, Jesus. His brothers and sisters are all of us because we are all God's children.

Mark 3:31 says Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him.
The bible says he had 4 brothers.James,Joseph, Simon,and Jude. Mathew 13:55 He also had sisters though not named or numbered.Mathew 13:56. Also see; Mathew 12:46, Mark 3:31,and Mark 8:19 .
Some roman catholics claim that these brothers were cousins,however in each instance the specific Greek word for brother is used

No - you are not just wondering. You believe that Mary had no more than one child - Jesus - so what is the point of your question - to drum up support for your belief? Suggests a weakness in your faith.

the catholics say that Jesus was her only child the protestants think Jesus had siblings. no one knows without a doubt. i dont see why Mary couldnt have other children which were naturally conceived with Joseph, but who knows.

THe tradition of the Roman Catholic Church has always been that she had one child - Jesus - and remained a virgin. There were no other children.
A bad translation confuses some people when Jesus talks about his brothers and sisters - but the Aramaic concept of family and usage was much broader than English can convey

yes, she did. Of course, Jesus being the oldest. Jesus was ridiculed for not staying and taking over as head of the house after Joseph's death as was custom during that time. He couldn't. Jesus was doing his father's work.

Yes Mary had more after Jesus, but they was fathered by Joseph.

Yes, she did have other children and the Bible speaks of them. Only Jesus was of divine birth, however. I think one of them, James, was a disciple of Jesus.
