Code by Fab
The mother Mary is not sinless.
Another
code inspired by recent discussions, found in the Tanach,
and a wrapped text, and using the expression "Mary is
not sinless". One occurrence expected and 2 were
found. The second one was extendable to "the mother Mary is
not sinless!".
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church: http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/p122a3p2.htm#II
493 The Fathers of the Eastern tradition call the Mother
of God "the All-Holy" (Panagia), and celebrate her as "free
from any stain of sin, as though fashioned by the Holy Spirit
and formed as a new creature".138 By the grace of God Mary
remained free of every personal sin her whole life long.
494 At the announcement that she would give birth to "the
Son of the Most High" without knowing man, by the power of the Holy
Spirit, Mary responded with the obedience of faith, certain that "with
God nothing will be impossible": "Behold, I am the handmaid of the
Lord; let it be [done] to me according to your word."
139 Thus, giving her consent to God's word, Mary becomes the
mother of Jesus. Espousing the divine will for salvation wholeheartedly,
without a single sin to restrain her, she gave herself
entirely to the person and to the work of her Son; she did so in order
to serve the mystery of redemption with him and dependent on him,
by God's grace:140
508 From among the descendants of Eve, God chose the Virgin
Mary to be the mother of his Son. "Full of grace", Mary is "the most
excellent fruit of redemption" (SC 103): from the first instant
of her conception, she was totally preserved from the stain
of original sin and she remained pure from all personal sin throughout
her life.
But the Bible asserts plainly all humans have sinned, Mary included then since it is nowhere said nor even suggested she was exempted:
Ecclesiastes 7:20: "For there is not a just man upon earth, that does good, and sins not"
Romans 5:12: "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned"
Luke 1:46: "And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour."
