Until the twelfth century,
Christians took it for granted that Mary was conceived in original sin. Pope
Gregory the Great said emphatically: ‘Christ alone was conceived without sin.’
Again and again, he said all human beings are sinful, even the holiest, with the
sole exception of Christ. On the eighth day of December 1854, Pope Pius IX, the
first infallible Pope defined the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary in
Ineffabilis Deus: We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which
liolds that the most blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instant of her
conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view
of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free
from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to
be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.
This act of devotion towards the Mother of Jesus
was also the most contrived political decision of any pontiff in recent times.
Throughout much of its history,
the Christian Church has taught that Jesus was conceived by the Virgin Mary by
the action of the Holy Spirit, without sexual intercourse. This doctrine is
usually called the virgin birth, although the term virgin conceptionwould seem to be more accurate. This has long been one of the church’s
foundational beliefs, along with the indisputable truth of the Bible, the
atonement, resurrection, and the second coming of Jesus. Liberal Christian
churches typically teach that Jesus was conceived by Mary and Joseph normally
Other Protestant churches generally believe that Jesus was conceived by Mary and
the Holy Spirit she and Joseph later had additional children. The Roman Catholic
church teaches that Mary remained a virgin at the conception of Jesus, after his
birth, and throughout her life. The "brothers" were in fact step-brothers
fathered by Josef in a previous marriage. The Eastern Orthodox churches
generally teach that Mary remained a virgin; Jesus’ "brothers" we in fact his
cousins. The Baha’I World Faith and of Islam believe that Jesus was conceived by
the Holy spirit, and that Joseph and Mary had additional children later in their
marriage. The Temple of the Christos teaches that Mary was based on the
constellation of Virgo, Mother of the Universe, who births the light of the sun
on December 25th . The Virgin Mary is the soul of the world diffused
through all nature which Plato called, the Anima Mundi, the only vital force in
the universe...
