Catholics believe that Mary was born without sin (the Immaculate Conception), since Jesus would otherwise have inherited original sin from his mother. Against this, Luke 1:30 says the angel told Mary that she had found favour with God, implying that it was not pre-ordained (as the Immaculate Conception would imply) for Mary to be the mother of Jesus.
