@Ron172892111531@Catholiterature@MaddyStrong3@Burgess7281975 There was a much greater consensus that she was sinless than there was that she wasn't. In fact, all of the fathers of the Reformation believed she was.
Granted, they changed, but initially they accepted and believed it.
Sometimes, I think the absence of something speaks pretty loudly:
We know Adam & Eve's sin.
We know Abraham's sin.
We know Moses' sin.
We know David's sins.
We know the multitude of various sins of the kings of Judah and Israel.
We know the sin of the woman caught in adultery. We know Matthew's sin.
We know Mary Magdalene repented from sins after being delivered from demons.
We know the sin of Zacchaeus.
We know Peter's sin.
We know Judas' sin.
We know Paul's sin.
We know the sin of the repentant thief on the cross. We know the sin of the immoral brother in Corinth (literally not even named).
We know the sin of the Philippian jailer.
But, the mother of Our Lord? Literally no sins ever mentioned; why not?
@TemporalStrife@SophiaTalks She was human wasn’t she ? It’s implied. The Bible doesn’t list her personal sins but we do know the Bible simply notes that she rejoiced in "God my Savior” and submitted to ritual purification after giving birth.
