Entry: The Vatican Space Program Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_vatican_space_program#3264 Post contents: Sid, please give me the source (authority) of your exposition regarding the Immaculate Conception. I've been a Catholic all my life and in none of my education or studies have I ever heard the explanation you have imparted to us. Dr. Ludwig Ott, the eminent theologian, in his book, Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, does not mention it. None of the Fathers of the Church, to my knowledge mention it. Neither do those Popes who have expounded this doctrine. All agree that Mary was preserved from original sin by a special grace of God merited by Christ. It was extra-sacramental. Forgive my importuning, but I am curious. Sent at: 2008 09 07
