Purgatory in the Bible
Is Purgatory Mentioned in Scripture?

Did Mary have other Children?
"Brethren of the
Lord"
When
Catholics call Mary the "Blessed Virgin," they mean she remained a
virgin throughout her life. When Protestants refer to Mary as
"virgin," they mean she was a virgin only until Jesus’ birth. They
believe that she and Joseph later had children whom Scripture refers to as
"the brethren of the Lord." The disagreement arises over biblical
verses that use the terms "brethren," "brother," and
"sister."
There are
about ten instances in the New Testament where "brothers" and
"sisters" of the Lord are mentioned (Matt. 12:46; Matt. 13:55; Mark
3:31–34; Mark 6:3; Luke 8:19–20; John 2:12, 7:3, 5, 10; Acts 1:14; 1 Cor.
9:5).

St. John Leonardi (1543-1609), a zealous Italian apostle, founded the congregation of the Mother of God, whose priest-members traveled throughout Tuscany urging the people to a stronger interest in their religion. Fr. John Leonardi longed to convert pagans, but his spiritual director, St. Philip Neri, told him to remain in Italy. So instead he founded a seminary in Rome to train young men for the priesthood from all the mission lands.
St. Denis, a third-century apostle of Gaul, and now one of the "Fourteen Holy Helpers" became first bishop of Paris. He suffered martyrdom there, together with his priest Rusticus and his deacon Eleutherius.
