The counter reformation has been at work in the RCC since 1517! and has only increased in her intensity of recent decades.It has long been known that Catholics do not proselytize.
It's an impossible position to insult from.Catholics also do not engage in an Online campaign dedicated to insulting Protestant tradition.

@Sigma you need your own blog where you can copy and paste to your hearts galore.
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. - Galatians 1:19
54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. - Matthew 13
I believe Mary was a virgin at the time of the birth of her son Jesus. And also that they had a family together afterwards.
There were many Joseph, Simon, James, and Judas‘s during the time of Jesus.
The Contrareformatio ran from 1545 c. 1700c.The counter reformation has been at work in the RCC since 1517! and has only increased in her intensity of recent decades.
Yet,you all still try.It's an impossible position to insult from.

Just a word of advice here. No non-Catholic will ever persuade a Catholic to stop believing what their church has instilled.
Many have been influenced by the church since infancy sprinkling in that church. And
more so if they attended Catholic school.
Their faith is in the church.Which they believe is a conflation with God.
Untrue.And, yet you can't address the opening post.
Untrue.
Gal 1:9 & Mark 6:3 is more than not considered to the the eldest after Jesus (by Joseph and Mary) —unfortuntely for you there is no hint anywhere in the NT that James and the others mentioned in Mark 6:3 were anything other than full brothers of Jesus.
You or I can twist it either way!

I have,repeatedly in other threads where you belabor the point,and now in this one where you insist Paul helps you make it.Nope. If you could address the opening post you would. It's that simple.
I have...
You think to create a soapbox where you can proclaim false doctrine is true,while gaining satisfaction arguing,often childishly, with those who know better.
Out of interest "what does it matter?"If they were Jesus's siblings, they wouldn't have been full siblings, but rather half-siblings, as they wouldn't have shared Joseph as a father. However, again, as I said in post #15:
"The flaw in your believing James of the four "siblings" of Jesus in Matt. 13:55/Mk. 6:3 and apostle James in Gal. 1:19 were the same person is that the latter was one of the Twelve, which means that he could've only been either James of Zebedee or James of Alphaeus, and neither of them were a son of Joseph and Mary.
Therefore, I've proven the belief that Joseph, Simon, James, and Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) in Matt. 13:55/Mk. 6:3 were Jesus's siblings to be false using Scripture alone."
I have yet to receive an answer from you to my question in post #13 as well.
