New Re: Was James his older brother? I never can remember.
Traditional it is viewed that Jesus was the first child of Mary.

However there is a debate on whether or not the "brothers" of Jesus were full or half brothers. He also had a sister.

There is speculation that Josephus had the children other than Jesus by a different wife. This would allow the Catholics to keep the Virgin aspect fully till Mary's death. There is cultural and archeological evidence to support both views.

Joseph apparently had them from a previous marriage before he married Mary. Or so I am told.
