This is because the virgin conceptions in Matthew and Luke which are virtually different and the genealogies are completely different were to symbolize something deeper.
Catholicism was originally more mystical and less of a literal interpretation of Scripture. It is going back to that more and more with the current Pope.
The virgin-conception/birth was suppose to mean that the soul of Jesus incarnated through a pure genealogy whose genetic background was more spiritual and finely attuned to the Spirit-realm. It didn't mean Joseph and Mary didn't copulate and have sex. Paul's writings are older than the Gospels and he knew nothing of an actual virgin birth. Mary's immaculate conception meant that she knew herself in God from even the time she was born; completely aware of her own self-worth and beloved by God unlike most of us. She was full of purity of love, which she passed unto her Son. The two of them, Christ and his mother were paired-souls who chose to incarnate for a divinely ordained purpose, consecrated by God the Father.
That is why in ancient religious art, artists were always attuned to Heavenly vibes. They picked up on their relationship and you can see how they are always seen together. Mary did have other children after Jesus as a natural mother, but Mary and her Son were always linked in earth-life and even now in the after-life. They were the yin and yang of one another's Souls
