In the second century, an early Christian gnostic Theologian, named Valentinus wrote to a man called Agathopous that Jesus “was continent, enduring all things. Jesus digested divinity; he ate and drank in a special way, without excreting his solids. He had such a great capacity for continence that the nourishment within him was not corrupted, for he did not experience corruption […]” (1)
The Catholic Church holds distinctive Marian dogmas, namely her status as the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, her perpetual virginity, and her Assumption into heaven. But we do not hold perpetual immaculate solid waste from Christ.
Should feminists enjoy Mary’s new supremacy, her crowning achievement for all womankind?

From Urban Dictionary: “[full of shit]
1) Totally unfounded, not credible, or ridiculous… usually refers to something somebody just said.”
I think the definition applies to Valentinus. But my question still stands: since the Blessed Virgin Mary did not menstruate and Jesus did not crap, why we do not celebrate the latter?
In this respect, Jesus the man has been discriminated.
Hope in the future, they will make it right, creating a new dogma.
