In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Deacon Frank – a deacon, author, columnist, and speaker – to unpack the biblical roots, proof, and evidence for the Perpetual Virginity of Mary. 

Using the Bible as the jumping off point, Deacon Frank is speaking directly to our non-Catholic Christian audience as he explains what makes Catholics believe – in tandem with the Early Christians – that Mary was not only a virgin before and after the birth of Jesus but was vowed, from the beginning, to remain one. 

This is a great explainer for one of those crucial Marian dogmas that trip up so many non-Catholic Christians. With charity, clarity, and light, Deacon Frank tackles this tough topic. You'll love it.
