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.
