The word is Magnificat, NOT Magnificant, Michael.  James his step brother??  Where did you find this?  The Jews in Palestine considered all relations to be their brothers and sisters.  Where in Mary's Magnificat did she say all these things? Understand that I know the Magnificat off by heart.  I also sing the Latin Plainchant of the Magnificat.  In all my days, I have never heard once, in my studies or otherwise, that James was the step brother of Jesus.
