Yes, I know the word, “immaculate” is being mis-used but Rush is using it for humor’s sake.

The Catholics say that Jesus was conceived immaculately, not Mary. Maybe you are trying to say that Jesus was conceived in the womb of Mary in an immaculate manner.

Immaculate - (esp. of a person or their clothes) Perfectly clean, neat, or tidy; Free from flaws or mistakes; perfect.

Immaculate only applies to messiahs and the Left thinks that Barryboy is the messiah or the second coming. Rush taking that worship of Barry by the Left and using it to make fun of him and his followers. This absolutely drives the Leftists nuts because he is exposing just how stupid, ignorant, and idiotic they make themselves look by worshiping Barry.

Remember all the fainting. Take a look at this website and see how far it went.

You are absolutely wrong about that. The Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of Mary, NOT Jesus. Look it up.

That’s why Rush’s use of it sounds so ignorant.

Immaculate is a word from Latin that means "stainless,or without any stain, untainted." In the dogma of the Immaculate Conception it refers to the freedom from any stain of the Original Sin. Jesus was without any stain of sin (and thus immaculate), a fact that is taken for granted by Catholics, since Christ is God.

However, Mary's status was not clear, because she was not God. Thus the immaculate Conception was a dogma defined in order to let everyone who was uncertain know, that although Mary was not divine, because of her mission to be the mother of God, she was conceived without the stain of the Original Sin by special intervention of God. Thus when Catholics speak about the Immaculate Conception they are usually referring to the doctrine about Mary's immaculate conception.

In other words, Jesus was conceived immaculately, but Jesus' immaculate status was never questioned because He was God, and God could never have any stain of sin. Mary, however, was a human and could have been conceivably tainted by the Original Sin (no pun intended.) That is why the doctrine was defined to clarify that her conception was untainted by any stain of the Original Sin.

You are mistaken. The Immaculate Conception refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
