Jesus keeping the Law has no relationship to the doctrine of the sinlessness of Mary. The doctrine of sinlessness refers instead to her role as the vessel that held God. That vessel had to be pure.

Jesus being the ONLY ONE to keep the Law (as the CCC says) has everything to do with the doctrine of the sinlessness of Mary. If Mary was sinless, then by definition she kept the Law perfectly.

The doctrine of sinlessness refers instead to her role as the vessel that held God. That vessel had to be pure.

If that is all it refers to, then are you saying that after Jesus was born Mary sinned every bit as much as any other believer might have?

Of couse it has everything to do with the "sinless" state of Mary.

The law is the measure of sin,it is by the law we know if we have sinned.. Gods word say if you fail in ONE Law you have broken them all

As I said before if Mary was sinless she is god and Jesus had no human nature..

If Mary was sinless then she could have died on the cross, the innocent for the guilty
