So was Mary's mother then immaculated? Her mother, her mother's mother ??? How can someone be born sinless from a mother who was not???

Just saying .....

Ann, the mother of Mary conceived immaculately. This is is common knowledge and is taught by Anglican, ORthodox, Catholic and more traditions.

[Cvengr]

Because the old sin nature is passed from the male genetics, not the female. The perfect nature of Jesus Christ was due to the action of God the Holy Spirit, not because Mary is perceived to be God or the mother of God.
