The Brothers of Jesus

The Catechism says, there are no limits to the mercy of God. Anyone who deliberately refuses to accept His mercy by repenting rejects the forgiveness of His sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. And such hardness of heart can lead to final impenentence and eternal loss. The early church was unanimous in understanding that Adelfoy simply meant relative or kinsman and not and not sibling. This would be absolutely unthinkable if Mary had other sons that could care for her.
