Luke,the physician, the writer of the gospel did not consider her the "immaculate Mother of God." She had to go through the purification rites just like every other mother in Israel because, Lev. 12: 2"

Again, she had to go through purification rites because she was with a Child. What was she supposed to tell the Jewish priests, that the Chuld is not your ordinary human? What would that accomplish? And if she told them that +Josph was not the father, she would have been stoned to death.

"What was she supposed to tell the Jewish priests"

Are you saying Mary lied to the priests about the birth of Jesus?
