To me - and I admit to being less than an expert - to be conceived immaculately means conception without human impregnation (which is to be conceived without Original Sin) which I accept readily in the case of Jesus but not His mother.

I see. You have a completely incorrect understanding of the term as defined by the Catholic Church.

There is no point in discussing this until you educate yourself about the terms in use.

I have no intention of educating myself on the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, either now or ever.

I just read it and I laughed.

“maintaining that from the moment when she was conceived in the womb, the Blessed Virgin Mary was kept free of original sin”

There is ZERO evidence of that in the Bible and in fact quite the opposite.
