However, it only addressed those issues with which the protestants were objecting. The perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin was not one of those issues, all of the reformers believed in it fervently. It had been a constant teaching of the Church from the very beginning and no one, not even the protestant heretics thought to change it. Martin Luther was vehement in his defense of Our Blessed Lady. .The Perpetual virginity of MaryPope Paul IV, in his Constitution, Cum Quorumdam Hominum, of 1555, expressed the constant teaching of the Catholic Church concerning both the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and the perpetual virginity of Mary:We question and admonish all those who . . . have asserted, taught, and believed . . . that our Lord . . . was not conceived from the Holy Spirit according to the flesh in the womb of the Blessed Mary ever Virgin, but, as other men, from the see of Joseph . . . or that the same Blessed Virgin Mary is not truly the mother of God and did not retrain her virginity intact before the birth, in the birth, and perpetually after the birth.
