Immaculate Conception |
Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.04 sec. |
Immaculate ConceptionIn the Roman Catholic Church, the belief that the Virgin Mary was, by a special act of grace, preserved free from original sin from the moment she was conceived. This article of the Catholic faith was for centuries the subject of heated controversy, opposed by St Thomas Aquinas and other theologians, but generally accepted from about the 16th century. It became a dogma in 1854 under Pope Pius IX. |
