Who was Mary’s mom, did she not pass down sin? It is impossible for Mary to have been sinless, she’s human and had a normal birth. Sin is passed by the seed of man is what I was taught.

“It is impossible for Mary to have been sinless, she’s human and had a normal birth.”

This is where the Immaculate conception comes in. Christ protected Mary from sin.

“Sin is passed by the seed of man is what I was taught.”

Which is why Mary’s immaculate conception is the break in the chain. Remember Christ is fully Man. IF sin is inherited AND Christ is fully man, then he inherits a sinful nature.
