discussing the Immculate Conception of the BVM

...so I referred you the best-known source for the info: the Holy Bible. ...

the Catholic Encycopedia says "No direct or categorical and stringent proof of the dogma can be brought forward from Scripture."

It's actually one of those things that the Pope declared to be true (Pius IX, 1854)
