Is Mary the Mother of Our Lord?
James and Joseph also called Joseph's, who are called Jesus brothers in Mark 63, are indeed the children of Mary, just not Mary, the mother of Jesus. After St Matthew's account of the crucifixion and the death of Jesus, he writes that many women there looking on from afar were among those ministering to him. So that seems to very clearly indicate that these women looking on were not the Mary who was by the foot of the cross. And another argument that you hear, Matt, will be that in the Gospel of John, they'll try to connect the figure titled the other Mary as being Mary, theMother of Christ,. Clearly it is not.
