I see where your beliefs differ. Catholics believe in the Immaculate Conception, and Protestants don't. For the record, Catholics believe that God granted Mary to be born without Original Sin so that she would be worthy of carrying His Only Son. NOT that Mary herself was some kind of god who was born immaculate.

Catholics believe in the Immaculate Conception, and Protestants don't. Catholics do not require proof that a teaching is Biblical.
Protestants do.
The bible (which the Catholic church compiled) contains these words:
Acts 17:11 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.

That is the importance... the absolute necessity of using the word of God as the authority of doctrine not just a man made belief.
