Best Answer

The concept of "Immaculate Conception" is widely misunderstood. It has nothing to do with Mary's conception of Jesus (Virginal Conception), but with the conception of Mary herself in her mother's womb. Her parents, Saints Joachim and Anne, obviously conceived her through normal sexual intercourse, but she was -and still is- considered to be free of Original Sin. Original Sin is not a sin per se, but the potential to do sin. In any case, Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of Mary, not of Jesus.
Mary was conceived in her mother's womb without the stain of Original Sin.
