It was the Second Vatican Council in the 60s that also reminded
believers that the truths of the Church are hierarchical, that is, while
truth remains, there is a level of importance of truths to our salvation,
e.g., that Jesus is Lord is more important than the virginity of Mary. The
belief that Mary was ever a Virgin remains true, it neither equals nor
surpasses the truth of the divinity of Jesus. All truth is to be believed.

Christian faith.
