It means that some believe she had no other children after Jesus. Others believe that she did since they are mentioned in The Bible.
Catholic Answer:
2000 years of Catholic Tradition hold that Mary remained a virgin even after the birth of Jesus. No one questioned this at all until the Protestant Revolt in the 16th century when Martin Luther revised the Bible to suit his own beliefs. Some Protestant believe that Mary had additional children. However, the 'brothers and sisters' mentioned in scripture were other close blood relatives of Jesus. There was no Hebrew or Aramaic word for cousin and all were considered as 'brothers and sisters' or 'brethren.'

Is James the lesser the brother of Jesus?
The relationship between James and Jesus is the subject of much speculation and tradition. What we do know is that Paul called James the brother of Jesus. However, some scholars believe that, for Paul, 'brother' was an honorary title to indicate James' leadership of the Jerusalem Church. Certainly, there is no suggestion in the epistle that James was an elderly man when Paul met him. The gospels then refer to the brothers of Jesus as James, Joses, Simon and Judas, and that he had sisters. The gospels tell us that Mary was a virgin when Jesus was conceived, and the Catholic Church, in particular, has held that she remained a virgin. In this case, James could not have been the younger brother of Jesus. On this basis, James could have been a half-brother - the son of Joseph by a previous wife. The difficulty with this is that the nativity stories make no mention of Jesus' siblings, who would have needed to travel from Galilee or to Egypt with the family. On the evidence, James would more likely be the younger brother of Jesus.
