The Catholic Catechism defines the Original Sin as Adam & Eve having passed down to all of us their sin of disobeying God and eating from the tree of knowledge. You can decide the "tree of knowledge" is anything you want, the actual sin was disobeying God and this hereditary sin is what we're all supposedly born with (and Baptism washes away).

Per the Catholic Catechism the Immaculate Conception is that Mary was free from original sin because of she was to be the mother of Jesus. The church teaches that Mary "was conceived by normal biological means in the womb of her mother, Saint Anne, but God acted upon her soul, keeping it "immaculate"."

Convoluted? Oh yeah,

It's time for the Mary Magdalene myth to end [View all] TexasTowelie Apr 2017 OP

And the "woman taken in sin" was never identified Warpy Apr 2017 #1

And the woman taken in sin passage was a later addition to the text ProfessorPlum Apr 2017 #34

So why do we care about this myth? Hokie Apr 2017 #2

Because it's evidence of how Rome brutally suppressed women Warpy Apr 2017 #9

The real myth that should end is that either she or Jesus actually existed. Gore1FL Apr 2017 #3

So why do you even care about this thread? HopeAgain Apr 2017 #7

Would you please explain how, exactly, Mariana Apr 2017 #12

Your right the person was just being a troll HopeAgain Apr 2017 #16

So far you have called me a Jerk, a troll, and a bigot. Gore1FL Apr 2017 #26

Wow... HopeAgain Apr 2017 #48

I don't feel persecuted HopeAgain Apr 2017 #59

Who said I was religious? HopeAgain Apr 2017 #67

Who said I was talking about you? Mariana Apr 2017 #69

I will. rug Apr 2017 #70

No, it hasn't Lordquinton Apr 2017 #66

What is going on is not discussion. rug Apr 2017 #71

'Straw'? Post #7 made accusations of bigotry, and claimed a member tried to 'stop discussion' muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #73

No, what post #7 pointed out was the derailment of a thread by people who don't like the topis. rug Apr 2017 #78

No, the accusation of bigotry was in #7, not in #73 muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #79

"Post #7 made accusations of bigotry" rug Apr 2017 #80

That's basically what I was saying Lordquinton Apr 2017 #82

Thing is, I think zentrum Apr 2017 #20

Perhaps, but that's not what 'the Immaculate Conception' is muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #74

You just made the point Curmudgeoness Apr 2017 #45

No. dflprincess Apr 2017 #53

The word missing from your post is "wife." /nt localroger Apr 2017 #8

Well, there's no evidence for that one, either. Warpy Apr 2017 #10

She was not called a prostitute. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #38

What's the harm in her being written as a prostitute? Lordquinton Apr 2017 #42

One can call her whatever one wishes. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #49

She has never, ever been identified as such except by the misogynist bastards Warpy Apr 2017 #52

No, you don't understand it at all still Lordquinton Apr 2017 #65

It's sometimes argued that identifying Magdalene (the 2nd most mentioned woman in the Gospels) muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #75
