It doesn't take "moral or spiritual authority" to read a dictionary and define the meaning of a word. Nor would I consider accepting that definition as read to be "making a judgement".
Likewise, it doesn't take a "moral or spiritual authority" to read the historical Creeds and Statements of faith which has defined what the Christian faith believes and note that belief in the virgin birth is a consistent and essential element in them. I'm not "making the judgement". I'm acknowledge the historical definition of the Christian faith.
