How can Mary have been conceived without original sin?
....

It has nothing to do with how she was conceived, but with the special nature conferred on her by God at the time she was conceived. She was not subjected to the curse of original sin everyone else, except Christ, has.

According to Catholic doctrine Our Lady was conceived without original sin and therefore born a saint.

This was in the orginal post and thus the reason for my wording of the question.
