Doctrine of the Immaculate Conception

The Immaculate Conception

THE DOCTRINE

Pope Pius IX, whose image is in our Eastern Rose Window, defined the Doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. He did this in the Constitution Ineffabilis Deus, on 8 December 1854. This Constitution defined that the Blessed Virgin Mary "in the first instance of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace granted by God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the human race, was preserved exempt from all stain of original sin."
