See, there you go again with the old "
straw man" argument - you make an all-encompassing statement that is untrue (although some Christians do take the Bible literally, it is not most), and expect people of faith to challenge your distorted misrepresentation, and when they don't, you use this to further "prove" your fallacious point.
You're a very naughty boy, who isn't very good at debate, as you seem to depend on misrepresentations, agression, and name-calling.

It doesn't change anything about Jesus, his divinity or his legacy other than the notion that he might have been married to mary, something I certainly don't have a problem with but Catholicism does considering its stance on female priests and leaders.
Also I feel the need to point out again that the Vatican only speaks for Catholics and not the majority of Christians.

Russ, may I point out that the Catholic Church has the largest congregation within the Christian Churches, representing over half of all Christians (but, as a codicil, quite a large number of RC's don't think the Vatican speaks for them
),
