Thomas Aquinas believed that semen was the carrier medium for original sin, and that's why Jesus had to be born to a virgin

when sperm was first discovered they figured that it carried the soul of the baby. but since only god can make souls they also figured each soul-sperm had all the souls of all of its descendants, with everything originating from adam's trillion-souled-cum made by god.

naturally the female played no role in any of this whatsoever

Gospel of James covers this- some midwife tried poking her fingers into mary to check her out and her hand got lasered off by god's vengeance

quote:

18 Then Salome went in, and the midwife said, "Mary, show yourself, for a great controversy has arisen about you." 19 And Salome tested her with her finger. 20 But her hand was withered, and she groaned bitterly, 21 and said, "Woe to me, because of my iniquity! For I have tempted the living God, and my hand is ready to drop off."
