    The First Marian Dogma was defined at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD in response to the heresy of Nestorius. It declared that Mary is the Mother of God, since she gave birth to Jesus Christ, who is God. The Dogma of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, defined at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD, states that Mary remained a virgin her entire life. Her "brothers and sisters" mentioned in the Bible were actually her relatives. The Dogma of the Immaculate Conception, defined in 1854, says that Mary was conceived without original sin and remained sinless her whole life.

    MARY, MOTHER OF GOD:


    What is the history of the First Marian Dogma?
     The First Marian Dogma was defined by
    the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. It was
    declared against the heresy of Nestorius,
    Patriarch of Constantinople, who had
    objected that Mary should be called
    “Mother of Christ” (Christotokos) and not
    “Mother of God” (Theotokos).
     The dogmatic definition declared: “If
    somebody does not believe that the
    Immanuel is God, and that therefore the
    Holy Virgin is Theotokos, since she
    generated in the flesh the Word who is
    God, be excommunicated.”

    8. THE PERPETUAL VIRGINITY
    What is the meaning of the Second Marian Dogma?
     The Dogma of the Perpetual
    Virginity of Mary, solemnly
    defined by the Council of Nicea
    (325 AD), states that she
    remained virgin for her whole
    life.
     The Greek term for this dogma
    is Aeiparthenos, which means
    “Ever Virgin.” This implies that
    Mary remained virgin before,
    during, and after the birth of
    Christ.

    9. THE PERPETUAL VIRGINITY
    Who are “the brothers and sisters” of Jesus?
     The “brothers and
    sisters” of Jesus (Mark
    3: 32), mentioned in
    the Gospel are not
    children of Mary, but
    her relatives.
     The Greek word
    adelphoi could mean
    “brothers” or
    “relatives,” or
    “community
    members.”

     If Jesus had real brothers and sisters, from the cross he should have entrusted
    Mary to them, and not to St. John.

    10. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION:
    What is the meaning of the Third Marian Dogma?
     The Dogma of the Immaculate
    Conception says that the Virgin Mary was
    conceived without the Original Sin, and
    remained sinless for her whole life.
     It was solemnly declared by Pope Pius IX
    on December 8, 1854, with the bull
    Ineffabilis Deus.
     The title Immaculate derives from the
    Latin words in and macula, meaning
    “without stain.”
     We celebrate the Immaculate
    Conception on December 8, exactly nine
    months before the Nativity of Mary
    (September 8).

    11. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION:
    What are the three common errors about the
    Immaculate Conception?
    1. Mary is immaculate because she was conceived by the power of the
    Holy Spirit. The truth is that Mary was conceived in a natural manner by
    her parents, Joachim and Anne, but without the stain of the Original Sin.
    2. Mary is immaculate because she is a virgin. Indeed, the fact that Mary
    is immaculate has nothing to do with her virginity, lest we consider the
    natural intercourse between husband and wife a sin.
    3. Mary is immaculate, therefore she did not need a Savior. In truth, all
    men need to be saved by Jesus; but in the case of Mary, salvation was
    anticipated to her conception, so that Jesus Christ could be born from a
    sinless and perfectly pure mother.

    12. THE IMMACULATE
    CONCEPTION:
    What are the biblical proofs of the
    Immaculate Conception of Mary?

     Genesis 3:15: “I will put enmity


    between you and the woman.”
    This affirms the incompatibility
    between Satan (sin) and Mary.
     Luke 1:28: “Hail Mary, full of
    grace, the Lord is with you” (Luke
    1:28). Being full of the grace of
    God, she was immune from any
    stain of sin.
