5 things:
1) if she was raped, she's not a virgin
2) in those times, jewish descent was through the male line, not the female as it is today. So he would have been called a lot of names, if the neighbors & family suspected anything was not 'kosher'. It changed after the Crusades
3) it was a man's world, the male prerogative was stronger then, Joseph would have had to be a world-class cuckold, to buy that 'miracle', if he didn't think it was true
4) vicars that don't believe in the Bible? Sounds like agnostics to me, what's that about keeping his day job?
5) if God exists, then what's a little 'miracle' between friends?
