According to Catholic doctrine, Mary was conceived without sin and because of that, she alone was a suitable vessel for birthing the Son of God into this world. This doctrine also leads to the associated belief that Mary lived a sinless life. Are these ideas true? Were they taught by the early church? If not, why do Catholics embrace these concepts?
