Dutch director Paul Verhoeven's "realistic" rape thesis of the Virgin Mary!

In the "probably happened" theories this one is added to a long line of debunking books about the life of Jesus. According to Paul Verhoeven a Roman soldier got a basic instinct and raped Mary. Joseph said nothing of much significance. The Catholic League in America is up in arms. I wouldn't bother. An omnipotent God can look after Himself.

Verhoeven can answer for himself. St. Paul will simply ask, "Where did you get such a preposterous idea from?". I'd far rather "let all grow until the harvest" than seeking to ban his book, or put him in jail or something.

Fox News has the story.
