Go here to begin to understand Catholic reasoning and the scriptural basis for believing Mary was born without original sin

That particular method of scriptural interpretation is called eisegesis.

IOW, you declare a doctrine and then after you have declared your doctrine, you go and look for scripture verses that can be stretched and twisted to fit your particular doctrine.

There is no scriptural basis for the contention that Mary was born without original sin. There are plenty of verses to the contrary.
