Re 47245

You can't be saying that Mary never sinned? I have to be misunderstanding here .

Yes, Mary never sinned. She was born free of the consequences of Original Sin and she also avoided any personal sin during her life.

(These are not the same thing, note that Adam and Eve had no Original Sin, yet they managed to sin.)

This ability to avoid sin is not of Mary's own power, but rather because God chose her for her role. She was saved from sin by the power of Jesus Christ, from the very moment of her conception.

That isn't what scripture says. To the contrary, it says she was a sinner. But then What the Apostles reported has never been an obstacle for your clergy making up what they like..

Show me scripture,where Mary never sinned and I'll show you scripture where she did.

Romans 3:
[23] since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

One more reason Scripture is shunted behind "Tradition".
