I’m curious why when the following list of Saints and councils affirm a miraculous, painless, “passing through” not opening, birth and perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, you don’t. See list here: St Gregory of Nyssa, St. Ambrose of Milan, St Augustine of Hippo, Pope St Leo the Great, Pope Pelagius, St. Proclus of Constantinople, St. John Damascene, St. John Damascene, and the Lateran Council (649 AD) with Pope St. Martin I, the Council of Toledo XVI (693 AD) St. John Damascene, Roman Catechism of the Council of Trent of 1566.
