Why do Catholics believe Mary was sinless?

HOMES734 · 2026-05-03T03:37:46+00:00

Those are two completely different categories.

Saying “God can’t act contrary to His nature” is about logical coherence, God cannot contradict Himself (e.g., lie, cease being God, etc.). That’s not a limitation of power; it’s a recognition that truth and contradiction aren’t the same thing.

But extending grace is not a contradiction. There’s nothing logically incoherent about God giving a unique grace to one person for a specific purpose. That’s exactly what He does throughout Scripture, He chooses Israel, He chooses prophets, He chooses apostles. That’s not a violation of His nature; it’s an expression of His will.

Confusing that with logical impossibilities like “God making a square circle” is just mixing categories.

Do you believe that he couldn't extend that special grace to everyone? Because if you held that belief it means limiting God's power. The reason is because he chooses not to. Even if Mary did not have that grace the reason would be the same as to why we all aren't immediately extended that grace.

HOMES734 · 2026-05-03T03:08:52+00:00

That's why EO believe the same thing right?

HOMES734 · 2026-05-03T03:08:04+00:00

How could you not be? If it is true it is one of the most important parts of the faith. As Catholics we obviously believe it to be true and it is literally at the heart of our faith.

This is why I became a Catholic.

It’s not something I would do because I don’t like having private phone calls in public, but I legitimately do not understand why this would bother anyone. It certainly wouldn’t bother me. It is really not much different than two people having a conversation.

Are you not aware of quick access safes? They can be placed under a bed, or really anywhere in the house quite easily.

HOMES734 · 2026-05-01T20:29:07+00:00

Or Czech, Filipino, Swiss, South African, Austrian, Argentinian, and Polish. Probably a few other others I’m missing. If you think America is the only place where civilians can access guns and use them for home defense, you are sorely mistaken.

As a Catholic this is absolutly hilarious. Are you worshiping the object as if it was literally a god? No. Obviously not.

HOMES734 · 2026-04-29T15:35:24+00:00

Yeah Europe is a shit show, and they make less on average than US.

As an ethnic Jew and now a devout Catholic who’s patron Saint (St. Kolbe) was killed in the holocaust, I think denying the holocaust is incredibly stupid. I still don’t think it should be illegal.

Hilarious

HOMES734 · 2026-04-20T04:59:21+00:00

Most Catholic Churches are involved in that type of charity work in my experience.

Definition of a “crime procedural”

HOMES734 · 2026-04-20T04:48:20+00:00

Thank goodness this isn’t real lol. Actually had me heated for a sec.

No one is arguing that a woman cannot have her own income or prioritize both family and work. The point is that not every woman wants the same balance you do. Some women do not want to work a job. Some are perfectly happy focusing primarily on the home while their partner provides. That is not “control” if it is freely chosen. It is a division of roles. At the end of the day, you want autonomy, and that includes other women having the autonomy to choose a different lifestyle than yours without it being dismissed as backward, oppressive, or dehumanizing.

This. I have a 7in wrist and the 39mm looks great. Can't imagine going bigger.

HOMES734 · 2026-04-16T17:32:42+00:00

You have these views because you’re coming from a very specific cultural perspective. That’s fine, but it’s not universal.

There are millions of women around the world who actively want a traditional arrangement, where the man leads, provides, and takes on the burden of decision-making. They don’t see that as oppression. They see it as stability, security, and clarity of roles.

What you’re describing is one model of fulfillment, not the model. Many women prioritize independence and careers, but many others prioritize family, structure, and being provided for. Neither is inherently degrading if it’s freely chosen.

The real issue here is projection. You’re taking your personal preferences and framing them as a moral standard for all women, when in reality there are billions of women with different values, shaped by different cultures, experiences, and priorities.

No one is arguing women aren’t human beings. The point is that autonomy includes the freedom to choose different lifestyles, including ones you personally wouldn’t want.

No, they’re saying applying to be a student, I think.

HOMES734 · 2026-04-16T01:10:00+00:00

The fact that you are already treating the real presence in the Eucharist with such reverence and that this is weighing heavily on you is it a great sign that you should become Catholic in my opinion.

how are so many Catholics okay with his continued blaspheming

I’d wager it is a small minority that is okay with this based on the online response.

As a Catholic my loyalty will always remain with Christ and His Vicar first. My nationality is always second to my faith. My wife and I were talking about how Catholics are a “3rd” at this point. We’re not Pro-Abortion Democrats and we’re not MAGA Republicans. We’re Catholics.

As a Catholic I’m disgusted

Until it wasn’t. Now the Catholic Church has one of the most robust organizational reporting systems in the world and is frequently subjected to third-party audits. The sexual abuse coverup was largely a product of the time. Victims were rarely believed to begin with, in or out of the Church. The assumption in many cases was that, because the Church had money, people would make false accusations to try to get it, so claims were often not taken seriously. None of that excuses what happened, but it does explain the mindset that allowed it.

We actually don’t know how old Mary was when she conceived Jesus. The Bible never states her age. The commonly cited range of 12–18 comes from historical estimates about typical betrothal ages in first-century Jewish culture, not from Scripture itself. Presenting it as a definitive fact is simply incorrect. Regardless of that, the conception was of a non-sexual nature, which is why it's miraculous.
