Immaculate Conception:
Luke 1:34-35

Mary asked the angel, "But how can I have a baby? I am a virgin? The angel replied, "THe Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby born to you will be holy and he will be called the Son of God.

The sinless conception of Jesus by the virgin Mary was never disputed by me or anyone else.

The question was the sinlessness of Mary.

Immaculate Conception - is not included in the gospels; it does not refer to the Incarnation of Jesus through the overshadowing of the BVM by the Holy Spirit.

I keep hearing this mistake over and over. In the past weeks I hear the term "Immaculate Conception" used in a comical way to refer to the strange confusion and ridiculousness of the paternity of Dannielynn Smith, and "we all know Dannielynn was not an immaculate conception". The reporters are trying to be funny, but they are being ignorant. They are confusing their terms.

I know it will not be the last time, but once again with feeling - here it is: Immaculate Conception has to do with whether or not Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was preserved from Original Sin at the time of her conception in the womb of her mother, Anna. Sacred tradition says it was so, as to render her a fit Mother for the Son of God, i.e to be the new Ark of the Covenant. Now, whether a person chooses to believe this or not, does not alter the fact of what the doctrine is. It's not about sex or biology; it's about original sin!!!! And, it's not about Jesus's conception and birth.
