What does it mean to be immaculately conceived?
Roman Catholic AnswerImmaculately conceived means "conceived without original sin". Adam and Eve were "immaculate" as they were created without original sin, but they were not conceived (they didn't have a mother and father). The only person who was conceived, in the normal manner, but was conceived immaculately, was the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Immaculate Conception refers to the fact that Mary, from the first moment of her conception was protected from the stain of original sin that every other human being has inherited from Adam and Eve. This honor was due to the fact that she would bear the son of God in her womb, and sin can not be anywhere near His Conception. Please note that the Immaculate Conception refers exclusively to Mary's conception in the womb of her mother, Anne. It has nothing to do with Jesus' conception.
Did the Virgin Mary and Joseph use the Immaculate Conception to cover their act of fornication?

Who was the Saint who formed an ontological proof of God?
The Ontological Argument, first proposed by St. Anselm, consists of five propositions: 1. By the term "God" is meant a being than which none greater can be conceived. 2. Whether we affirm or deny the existence of God, a being than which none greater can be conceived exists in the understanding. 3. It is possible to conceive of a being than which none greater can be conceived existing not only in the understanding but in reality as well; and this is greater. 4. If, therefore, a being than which none greater can be conceived exists only in the understanding, it is not a being than which none greater can be conceived. 5. Therefore, a being than which none greater can be conceived exists also in reality. Anselm's argument, as with similar ontological arguments raised by later theologians, fails because it is not a sound argument.
Why do Catholics believe John the Baptist was born with out original sin?
Catholics have long held that John the Baptist was born without original sin as they believe that he was purified from original sin while still in his mother's womb when the Blessed Virgin Mary, pregnant with the Divine Savior, visited her cousin St. Elizabeth and the baby, John, "leaped" in his mother's womb (see Luke 1:41 ff). Please note that this is entirely different from the Blessed Virgin Mary. For her, it is a defined dogma of the faith that she was conceived immaculately - without any stain of original sin ever touching her. John the Baptist was conceived in the normal way, and with original sin, but was purified before his birth NOT his conception. Plus, John being born without original sin is a pious belief, not a defined doctrine. And Our Blessed Lord, Himself, said that John the Baptist was the greatest of the Old Testament prophets and saints, exceeding even Moses and Elijah, both of whom ancient Jews commonly believed had not died but been assumed into heaven at the end of their lives.
