The Immaculate Conception of St Mary.... Immaculate Conception of St Mary was a doctrine declared by Pope Pius IX, of Roman Catholic Church in the year 1854 December. The Doctrine clearly says "We define that Blessed Virgin Mary in the first moment of her conception, by the singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of human race was preserved free from every stain of original sin". This concept is totally rejected by all the Orthodox churches because it is clearly against the teaching of the Holy Bible. Immaculate Conception means that St. Mary was born without the original sin. This in itself demolishes the whole basis of Christianity; for we believe that since Adam’s fall, everyone is born carrying that original sin, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). We do not distinguish St. Mary from the rest of the human race based on the assumption that she was born without the original sin. Her birth is like the birth of any common person. She herself said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior" (Luke 1:46). If she was born without the original sin, then she would not need salvation. If so, why is she calling God her Savior?
