Christianity Endorses Paedophilia and Intergenerational Sex:
Catholic Encyclopaedia says: “When forty years of age, Joseph married a woman called Melcha or Escha by some, Salome by others; they lived
forty-nine years together and had six children, two daughters and four sons, the youngest of whom was James (the Less, “the Lord’s brother”). A
year after his wife’s death, as the priests announced through Judea that they wished to find in the tribe of Juda a respectable man to
espouse Mary, then twelve to fourteen years of age. Joseph, who was at the time ninety years old,went up to Jerusalem among the candidates; a
miracle manifested the choice God had made of Joseph, and two years later the Annunciation took place.”
De Robigne Mortimer Bennett says:
“The following ‘Facts about virgin Mary’ are taken from one of the Apocryphal gospels- the ‘History of Joseph the Carpenter,’ a book that
was popular and believed to be genuine in the so-called Evangelical of the Church. It is reproduced here from the ‘Revelations of Antichrist:’
Joseph was a widower with four sons and two daughters, all married but James and Judas. Joseph was a Priest as well as a Carpenter, but lived mostly
by the latter trade. Mary had been brought up in the temple till she was twelve years old, when the priests sought to intrust her to the care of some
pious old man who wanted a wife. So they assembled twelve old men, who raffled for Mary. The ex-priest and carpenter won and was betrothed to her at
once, the marriage to be postponed until she reached a suitable age. But he took her to his house and kept her two years, when she became a mother by
the Holy Ghost.
When Joseph discovered the condition Mary was in he became sorely troubled, and could not eat or drink for a whole day. He thought of hushing up the
scandal by putting her away secretly. (It is not said whether he suspected his son James, who was most tenderly attached to his prospective
step-mother. When she first came she found him broken-hearted at the recent loss of his own mother, but the advent of a lovely maiden, who, though
some years his junior, assumed the relations of a mother to him, soon assuaged his grief; and she, caring for him as a loving step-mother knows how,
became known as ‘the mother of James,’ even before she became a wife to his father. The absence of Joseph, who had to be away at work at his
trade, to say nothing of his age, which was then ninety-two, no doubt tended to strengthen the ties between the son and the female guardian.)Joseph
was not long left to remain in trouble about the condition of Mary. In the Midst of his distress he fell asleep at noonday, and had a dream, in which
Gabriel appeared to him and explained the mystery of the Immaculate Conception. That was enough; happiness was restored. The angelic friend had tied
up the storm. The far-off magi made haste to welcome the new-born king of the Jews. But the wicked Herod was wroth with them for not telling where the
infant was, so he might go and worship him also. Jesus grew up and worked with his reputed father Joseph at the Carpenter trade, and lived in sweet
accord with his two half-brothers, until the death of their father Joseph, who lived to the ripe age of 111 years. These statements should
undoubtedly be taken with many grains of allowance.” [8]
