Matthew and Luke alone are the only canonical books which even touch upon it. (cf. Matt 1:18-25 and Luke 1:31-35).
Was Mary the source of Luke’s account of the infancy? What do traditions say concerning this?
Why did the Roman Pontifical Biblical Commission abandon an official statement concerning the “literally historical” birth narratives, in the late 1960’s? Would this statement been too much of a complicated and nuanced for the commission?
Just thoughts bouncing around.
But .....I "believe that "the books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching firmly, faithfully and without error that truth which God wanted put into the sacred writings for the sake of our salvation" (Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, 11)."
