	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Blessed Virgin Mary
		Mary's question (Luke 1:34), the angel's answer (Luke 1:35, 37), Joseph's way of behaving in his doubt (Matthew 1:19-25), Christ's words addressed to the Jews (John 8:19) show that Mary retained her virginity during the conception of her Divine Son.
		Mary's Divine motherhood is based on the teaching of the Gospels, on the writings of the Fathers, and on the express definition of the Church.
		John Chrysostom is of opinion that Mary would have felt fear and trouble, unless the angel had explained the mystery of the Incarnation to her, and that she showed some vainglory at the marriage feast in Cana and on visiting her Son during His public life together with the brothers of the Lord.

	Virgin Mary Sightings
		La Virgin de Guadeloupe, as she is known here, is said to appear "miraculously'' in ordinary objects from treetops to stovetops, from the grimy floor of Mexico City's subway to the fruit-laden fields next to this village in eastern Mexico.
		With the virgin as uncrowned queen of Mexico's spiritual life, often dwarfing the influence of Christ himself, suggestions that the original miracle or any of its modern-day versions are fictitious arouse suspicion and outright anger.
		Last year, the priest in charge of the basilica where the virgin appeared more than 400 years ago was forced to step down after he reportedly said the miracle may never have taken place but was important nonetheless because it propagated Catholicism.
