That does make sense that she would need to be sinless. If Jesus was also fully human, how could a sinner partake in raising him? I would have to agree with the church.

Another point, this Holy Mystery shows the most incredible virtue of humility, Christ obedient to His Mother; God obedient to His creature. A thought to ponder upon forever!

Yep...the only thing that stands in your way is the Scripture that God wrote for us to read...

You think Jesus was obedient to Mary when he ran off and she couldn't find him for a few days???

Quite a fairytale that has evolved...

Mary was full of grace. She gave a perfect “yes”. She had to give a perfect yes. After all she was the mother of Jesus who was sinless in his divine human nature.
