What was it historically that set Catholics down the path of believing Mary stayed a virgin her whole life?

Are you Catholic? You sound like it.

The Protestants I know are not obsessed with Mary. But Catholics are the ones who make statues to her, pray to her, and make up supposedly true stories of people in modern times being visited by her. I remember Steven Colbert talking with a fellow Catholic actress he was interviewing, and they were talking about the supposed 9 times Mary has visited people.

I literally saw video footage of the pope burning incense to a statue of Mary with baby Jesus on her lap, and call her the Queen of Heaven. But Protestant pastors rarely mention her.

Why is it that every time I ask a question, all you have to do is turn it into an argument, and constantly insult me? It’s really offensive. It was just a question, but you have to turn it into a fight, and fill it with your accusations and hateful insults? Can you please stop?

I mean, you’re accusing Protestants of trying to make Mary sexy? Really? That’s such a ridiculous accusation to make of Protestants. It’s just rude, accusatory, and mean. I just don’t understand why you’re so cold-hearted and filled with false accusations that don’t even make sense.
509 Mary is truly "Mother of God" since she is the mother of the eternal Son of God made man, who is God himself.

What do u find amusing?
The numbers weren't referencing page numbers as I thought.

It's amusing because I wasted my time going out of my way looking for something for you while being under appreciated.. I personally find the inquisition toward the matter of the perpetual virginity of anyone having been documented in the Bible as rather benign in virtue.. in other words 'a question is a question is a question', nothing more and nothing less..no reason to question the OPs question with such vigor and predetermination, just answer it or don't but don't be such a sloth in your efforts that you have to ask others to do your research for you to prove a point that you yourself have yet to decide to make.

Only Augustine made such a claim of perpetual virginity.

Augustine, Serm. 186, 1: PL 38, 999): with her whole being she is "the handmaid of the Lord" (⇒ Lk 1:38).

It's fair to say that Mary gave birth to Jesus who IS the incarnation of God thus she was the "Mother of God" but obviously no creation can precede it's creator, therefore the premise is a misleading one as it didn't just stop there but went on to create doctrines of vain imaginations along with the many others throughout the history of the catholic church

But where does the perpetual virginity teaching come from.
And can it be found in the catholic catechism?

That’s what I was wondering

Who is Augustine

From Britannica “St. Augustine was the bishop of Hippo (now Annaba, Algeria) from 396 to 430. A renowned theologian and prolific writer, he was also a skilled preacher and rhetorician. He is one of the Latin Fathers of the Church and, in Roman Catholicism, is formally recognized as a doctor of the church.”

Again,
The font is revealing a 20th century agenda
Yeah the font used appears to be non-archaic, looks more like a modern day print most likely published in New York along with any other book imaginable.

"Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?"
Matthew 13:55
KJV

Mark says brothers and sisters...

"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him"
Mark 6:3


Jesus addresses those in disbelief in the synagogues as representing the fellow countrymen, kin and household of a prophet whom they find unworthy, referring to himself ...

"But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house"
Mark 6:4

I don’t know what his problem is with fonts. Obviously they make modern printings of old documents in today’s English.
