THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX, in the bull Ineffablis Deus, proclaimed: We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which holds that the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the first instant of her CONCEPTION , by a singular privilege and grace of the Omnipotent God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind, was preserved IMMACULATE from all stain of original sin, has been revealed by God, and therefore should firmly and constantly be believed by all the The title Ineffabilis Deus, or Ineffable God, emphasizes that the preservation of Mary from sin, including Original Sin, is a gift, given by the Omnipotent God. This extraordinary grace is given, as is all grace, through the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of all, although, in Mary s case, grace was given in view of the future death and Resurrection of Jesus.
Unlike the other dogmas of the Church, the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption are not found in the Scriptures. Yet, when the dogmas are looked at carefully, we can see that they fit into the category of what the Anglican-Roman Catholic document, Mary: Grace and Hope in Christ, spoke of as being “in conformity with the Scriptures.” 24
