| | Immaculate Conception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Immaculate Conception was solemnly defined as a dogma by Pope Pius IX in his constitution Ineffabilis Deus, published December 8, 1854 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception). | | | The existence of the feast was a strong indication of the Church´s belief in the Immaculate Conception, even before its 19th century definition as a dogma. | | | In the Catholic Church, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on 8 December is generally a Holy Day of Obligation, and a public holiday in countries where Catholicism is predominant. |

| | Immaculate Conception, Atlanta |
| | As the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception prepared to celebrate the centenary of its historic church building, the parishioners and all the people of Atlanta owe Father Murray a debt of gratitude for his appreciation of the meaning of the Shrine and his great efforts for its present restoration and rededication. | | | The time had come for the Immaculate Conception to be the "Mother Church" of Catholicity in North Georgia, as she had once been its cradle. | | | Two priests to serve the Immaculate Conception merit the honor to have a plaque dedicated to them in the vestibule of the church -- Father O'Reilly and Father Cleary. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Immaculate Conception |
| | A comparison with the conception of Christ and that of St. John may serve to light both on the dogma and on the reasons which led the Greeks to celebrate at an early date the Feast of the Conception of Mary. | | | In Normandy at the time of Bishop Rotric (1165-83) the Conception of Mary, in the Archdiocese of Rouen and its six suffragan dioceses, was a feast of precept equal in dignity to the Annunciation. | | | Not knowing that the feast had been celebrated with the rich tradition of the Greek and Syrian Churches regarding the sinlessness of Mary, he asserted that the feast was foreign to the old tradition of the Church. |

| | The Immaculate Conception |
| | In 1854, when Pope Pius IX took the bold step of raising belief in the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary to the status of a formal doctrine in the Church, it was sure to spark controversy. | | | Ludwig Ott's work, "Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma," admits that the Immaculate Conception is not explicitly taught in Scripture, and he freely acknowledges that neither the Greek nor Latin Fathers teach this doctrine. | | | In summary, we can establish some reasonable arguments that the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, far from diluting the centrality of Christ's redemptive work, actually serves to emphasize fundamental doctrines that are acceptable to all Christians. |

| | Mary's Immaculate Conception |
| | Now the Church continues to elucidate the scriptural basis of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. | | | The result was that about a century and a half before the definition of 1854, the whole Church believed the Immaculate Conception. | | | And in 1568 the same Pope put the feast of the Immaculate Conception on the calendar of the Roman breviary. |

| | Immaculate Conception and Assumption |
| | The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception was officially defined by Pope Pius IX in 1854. | | | Since the Immaculate Conception and Assumption are not explicit in Scripture, Fundamentalists conclude that the doctrines are false. | | | The definition of the Immaculate Conception was prompted by the latter motive; it did not come about because there were widespread doubts about the doctrine. |

| | Immaculate Conception |
| | The Catholic Church of the United States made the Immaculate Conception the patronal feast of the whole nation. | | | It was only after consulting with all the bishops, through their mediation with the whole people of God, and with the help of several theological committees that the dogma of faith was finally defined (1854). | | | Later, the Magisterium forbade the accusation of heresy to be used by either side, for the sake of peace in the Church. |

| | Immaculate Conception, Assumption, and Queenship of Mary |
| | The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception comes to us from the Syrian-speaking Church in the East -- the branch of early Christianity which was closest in culture to the original, Jewish community of believers. | | | As you probably know, the Immaculate Conception of Mary was declared to be a dogma of the Church in 1854. | | | So, Catholics had celebrated the feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8th for 377 years before the dogma was defined; and, in the East, for 957 years before that on December 9th. |

| | In a homily on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception delivered in 1982, Pope John Paul II wrote, "Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who filled you, Virgin of Nazareth, with every spiritual blessing in Christ. | | | Perhaps one reason why the discussion over the Immaculate Conception was prolonged is because the early Church was outlawed and under persecution until the year 313, and then had to address various problems surrounding Jesus Himself. | | | A feast day in honor of the Immaculate Conception has been celebrated in the Eastern part of the Church at least since the sixth century. |

| | They denounced as false and absolutely foreign to the mind of the Church the opinion of those who held and affirmed that it was not the conception of the Virgin but her sanctification that was honored by the Church. | | | They affirmed that the same Virgin is, and is deservedly, the first and especial work of God, escaping the fiery arrows the the evil one; that she is beautiful by nature and entirely free from all stain; that at her Immaculate Conception she came into the world all radiant like the dawn. | | | All are aware with how much diligence this doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God has been handed down, proposed and defended by the most outstanding religious orders, by the more celebrated theological academies, and by very eminent doctors in the sciences of theology. |
