A Thorny Theological Poser?

Not to be rude or anything, but why is it always "The Virgin Mary" and yet it's never "The Virgin Jesus"?

I mean, presumably the leading theologians are at least quasi-united on that one as well. Just look at all the uproar with that whole The Last Temptation of Christ movie! Where, as I understand it, the worst that happens is that Jesus is depicted as thinking about sex.

So like I'm saying, there really should be nothing rude or controversial about the question itself, right? It's just a question.

And it deserves an answer.
