The Dogma of the Immaculate Conception teaches that the Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the very first moment of her conception, preserved from the guilt of Original Sin. This was accomplished by an anticipation of the merits her Divine Son would gain on the Cross, and these were applied to the Blessed Virgin Mary in advance.
St. Thomas Aquinas did not fully support the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, as he believed that Mary was conceived without original sin but was later cleansed from it. He argued that only Christ was born without original sin.
The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception in the Bible is significant because it teaches that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was conceived without original sin. This belief emphasizes Mary's purity and special role in giving birth to Jesus, who is considered the Son of God.
In 1858, in an apparition the Church has approved as true and worthy of the belief and devotion of Catholics, the Blessed Virgin appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirou and called herself, "The Immaculate Conception", thereby identifying herself by the doctrine of the same name that had been declared in 1854.
