Mary herself so stated, and furthermore "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." The Bible makes no assertion that Mary was excluded from that group. It makes no assertion that she never sinned. Nor is it a requirement that she not have what you call "original sin".
Not understanding Judaism, you could hardly understand her status or what it meant. Your clergy obviously didn't know when they wrote this garbage about mary. Nor did they realize that the kind of manuever they ascribe to God would be a violation of his own laws. And that is blasphemy. Can your clergy do something without blaspheming God?

Excuse me if I don't agree with your notions of what the "Bible" asserts.
