The Immaculate Conception has nothing to do with Jesus’s conception.

But hey, don’t let me stop you from knee-jerking something you demonstratively know nothing about. Where would be the fun in that?

Thankfully your Virginally Conceived savior (or his Dad) endowed you with his own perfection, and the grace to correct my ignorance and perhaps even my sin.

I beseech thee…don’t condemn my mortal flaws.  
Pray for me, instead.

We seem to have exhasted the factual portion of this thread. We also seem to be headed nowhere fast. I’m going to close the thread.
