Yes we should spend hours and hours and hours discussing whether or not Mary was a virgin. And then more hours, and then more hours.
Because this will solve all the worlds problems. There is Nothing More important to discuss.
A person who believes Immaculate Conception is a dunce.

Good point. The “Immaculate Conception” refers to Mary. Because she was completely free of sin — immaculate — she was deemed worthy of carrying and giving (virgin) birth to Jesus. In Spanish she’s “La Immaculata.” But yeah, it’s probably pointless even to discuss such niceties.
I was thinking about this today. Maybe our Protestant friends choose not to believe all Catholicism teaches about Mary but I do not understand the hostility. Won't we all be without sin in heaven? Why couldn't God create a human without original sin to bear His Son? Why wouldn't He? It is in fact appropriate for Him to do so.
That was boys and syphilis. Always the toilet seat.
Me too.
Deplorably duncing my way through life...
“A person who believes Immaculate Conception is a dunce.”
Is any faith an act of stupidity? Or only the things you don’t believe.
Other than the fact that catholicism and all that it professes is a perversion and heresy of Christianity, and that it's filled with paganism and it turns all it's petitioners into lazy mislead sheep, we're fine with it.
Duns Scotus wrote the defense of “Immaculate Conception.” For his illogic, he earned the term “Dunce”
Hail Mary,
Full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
Amen

If Mary remained a virgin, then that means poor Joseph her husband was too.
Because Mary is so associated with the Holy Catholic Church, and the only thing Protestants agree on is that they think the church is wrong.
Who’s the woman that embittered your heart?
Well, I don't believe that Immaculate Conception is a dunce. I believe it's a traditional understanding of Our Lady's nature that was defined as dogma in I think 1854.
But your excellent handle has me wondering: Jan Sobieski is renowned as a Catholic King who saved Europe. By his time, the feast of the Immaculate Conception was widely celebrated as a feast day. Do you have reason to think he was a dunce? Or that he didn't believe that Our Lady was conceived without original sin?

Do you spend a lot of time searching for articles to stir the pot with “Protestants”?
