Hey Listeners!
We are recording new podcasts as a trio and our first one is On the Perpetual Virginity of Mary by St. Jerome. We are going to look at this one aspect of early Christianity that is not talked about as much in Protestant circles. At least some of the early Christians said Mary was a virgin for her whole life.
