Q

Immaculate Conception

A

In light of God’s free choice of the Blessed Virgin Mary from all eternity to be the Mother of his Son, it was ordained, from the first moment of her conception, she– by a singular grace of God and by virtue of the foreseen merits of Jesus Christ– was preserved from all stain of Original Sin. Believed from antiquity, the dogma was formally defined by Pope Bl. Pius IX in 1854.
