That does not mean though that I believe her to be sinless.

I have some stuff to do today, so I'll be out more than in... but... this is the thing that got me regarding Mary's sinlessness: we know that Jesus Christ got his human nature from the blessed Mary and He of course got his divine nature from God. And I think of the "old wineskins" parable as well.

I guess my point is that I cannot conceive how Jesus Christ was sinless and had a human nature gotten through the blessed Mary if her human nature was sinful. It would be the same as putting new wine in old wineskins.

Just my $.02! - unasked for as usual ;-)

New wineskin and new faith.
