not true. even amongst believers there are plenty of lies and deception. In Ethiopia there is schizm because some Bishops are teaching the Roman doctrine that both the Virgin and Christ were both born of Immaculate Conception, where as the Orthodox teaching has always been that she was born of lawful, sexual intercourse by her parents, and only Jesus was virgin-born. In fact, it is a crucial article of Orthodox faith to affirm her carnal birth, because the fundamental teaching of the Church is that from Adam unto Mary, a pearl was placed in the seed of men, and essentially the ENTIRE Old testament is a narrative of the family struggles and geneological drama which culminated in the birth of the Virgin. It is very simple, if her parents did not have sex, they could not have transferred the pearl which had existed since Adam, which is literally the DNA of Jesus Christ.
