How old was Mary again?
We don't know. Historians assume somewhere around 12 at the youngest to 16 at the oldest because she was engaged and that was the age when people got engaged/married back then.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
