At Lourdes, the Blessed Virgin Mary said: I am the Immaculate Conception.Lots of straw grasping going on here!
On 25th March 1858, the day of the sixteenth apparition, Bernadette asked the “Lady” her name.
The “Lady” replied in the local dialect: “Que soy era Immaculada Counceptiou”, which means “I am the Immaculate Conception”.
The Immaculate Conception is “Mary conceived without sin, by the merits of the Cross of Christ” (definition of the dogma promulgated in 1854).
Bernadette went to see the Parish priest straight away to give him the name of the “Lady”.
He then realized it was the Mother of God who was appearing in the Grotto.
Later, Mgr Laurence, Bishop of Tarbes, authenticated this revelation.

Adam AND Eve were, for a time, also immaculate. Nope: they were CREATED from DUST and a RIB.

Unlike Eve, however, Mary did not sin, but remained perfectly obedient to God.
Rome has published facts, in it's book, that have turned IT's 'Mary' into a HYPOCRITE, by painting her as SINLESS, yet writing of her going into the temple to make a SIN offering.

Yet, you still do not open your heart to the Roman Tradition (as biblically instructed).Oh really?

You know Our Lady is the bride of the Holy Spirit, that alone is the beginning of understanding. I 'know' no such thing.
I do know that brides tend to lose something on their wedding night - even Jewish ones.

To accept a woman soiled by sin as the bride of God is unthinkable.
Remember the offerings of Cain and Abel. HUH??
Our Lady was an offering as bride to God, thus she must be utterly spotless.More Roman assertions with NO basis in fact.

I ignore the “teachings” of the sinners and false prophets both in and out of the Catholic church. How do you detect these folks?

Was it Twain that said it is harder to convince a deceived person that they are deceived than it is to deceive them?That's fairly close...

Let me add a corollary:
It's even harder,
after they realize that they have been fooled,
to ADMIT that they have been fooled.

Remember the offerings of Cain and Abel. Our Lady was an offering as bride to God, thus she must be utterly spotless. So Mary as the bride of the Spirit is the bride of God. But you all claim she’s God’s mother
That then would make her a bride to her own Son.
That’s just downright creepy.
Do Catholics EVER think through what they are spoon fed by their religion?????

So the mother of God becomes the bride of God and then gives birth to Him.
Not only does that not make Mary sinless, it doesn’t even allow for God to be sinless.
It reminds me of that song “I am my own Grandpa”.

Stealthy revival of the Semiramis cult think, as Mark has duly, astutely noticed.

How much do they pay you cherry-pickers these days?

Stop acting dumb, you know your Bible...
[31] Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus...
[34] And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?...
[35] And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Daughter of the Father, Mother of the Son, Bride of the Holy Spirit. Each different Persons of the Holy Trinity. Yet, each is completely One. One God.
I think your beef is with God, not Catholics.
