The names Anne and Joachim rest ultimately on the so-called "Gospel of James", the "Gospel of the Nativity of the Blessed Mary", and the Pseudo-Matthew, or "Book of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of the Childhood of the Saviour"; and this origin is likely to rouse well-founded suspicions. The information may be correct, the information could be in error. However, to doubt that they ever existed is incorrect. The Blessed Virgin had two parents, whether their names were Anne and Joachim or Homer and Marge is of little consequence. Traditionally, The Virgin Mary was an only child, born to her parents who were already advanced in age. However, other sources dispute this and say that she did have at least one sister. The Church makes no definitive statement on this. Once again, it is of little consequence as the Virgin Mary was the one chosen by God to carry his son. It makes no difference if she was an only child or came from a family of 12 children.
