The Immaculate Conception is a Catholic dogma stating that the Virgin Mary was free from original sin from the moment of her conception. Defined in 1854 by Pope Pius IX in Ineffabilis Deus, it was a subject of theological debate for centuries. The dogma affirms Mary's unique holiness, distinguishing her from other humans who inherit original sin. While the Immaculate Conception concerns original sin, the Council of Trent affirmed Mary's freedom from personal sin. The Immaculate Conception is one of the four Marian dogmas of the Catholic Church.
In 1969, the Anglican–Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) was established to promote ecumenical progress, but the final report highlighted the disagreement of Anglicans with the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception.
In 1990, the Catholic–Lutheran dialogue statement, "The One Mediator, the Saints, and Mary," acknowledged ongoing divisions concerning the invocation of saints, the Immaculate Conception, and the Assumption of Mary.
