The Catholic Church believes and teaches that Mary, the mother of Jesus, remained a virgin her whole life. However, many Catholics have experienced the incredulity and shock of their Evangelical friends when they share that idea. It seems preposterous and anti-Biblical to them.

These are some notes I'm taking in preparation for a chat I'm going to have with some LDS Missionaries.
