Catholics DO NOT believe that Mary was conceived in a non-sexual way and you know it.

Actually, no I didn't - I confess to knowing next-to-nothing about the Catholic view of Mary's conception, except that IIRC she was "conceived without sin". Given the Protestant view of what that phrase means, you might understand how I could misunderstand the Catholic view. FWIW, this just hasn't been an area that I've given any focus to. But now you can say that I know something about it. And a special thanks to OpusatFR for his post 87 and the definitions therein.

Oh and wagglebee, no offense taken (per your #84).

Thanks. I just wanted to clarify that Catholics DO NOT believe that the actual method by which Mary was conceived differed from the norm, the Immaculate Conception ONLY relates to her soul.

You are welcome.

I’m a she, although prefer the designation of flightless water fowl on the web. ( -;
