The Virgin Mary was sinless, and yes, it’s in scripture. When the Angel Gabriel addresses her, if we pay attention to grammar, he renamed her as well as he states “Hail, full of grace!” The specific word he uses in the original Greek language that the book of Luke was written in is “Kecharitomene," which means you who have always been, currently are and always will be FULL of grace. We know this because the Greek word kecharitomene ("full of grace"), is a perfect passive participle, coming from the root word charitoo, or grace, meaning “to fill or endow with grace." It denotes an action having taken place in the past, before the announcement of the angel, and one that continues throughout her existence. This means, and can only mean, that Mary was spared from original sin at her conception and remained sinless throughout her life. This is the only reason she was able to bear God. If we remember, the only other object to bear God (the ark of the covenant) killed whoever touched it because they were soiled with sin and God is obviously sinless. Just simply brushing against something so holy was too much for a sinful human body to take. This is why Mary had to be without sin if she were to bear God. She was the ark of the New Covenant. However, just because she was sinless, does not mean she was equivalent to God. Sinlessness is just one of the many, many, characteristics that must be met by God to be God. Mary was not omnipotent or omnipresent. She was not creator, only a humble creation. And that’s what makes her so inspiring.

5 Dubia Questions for 1P5's Steve Skojec & All faithful Catholics especially Francis is definitely Pope Cardinals, Bishops & pundits

Here are five really short and easy to answer dubia questions which hopefully aren't too complicated for Steve Skojec, publisher of the One Peter Five website, to answer. To make it really easy for the publisher of One Peter Five it has been formatted so that he only has to answer: yes or no. 1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said "The Pope... when he is explicitly a heretic... the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See." Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 2. "Universal Acceptance" theologian John of St. Thomas said "This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff." Was John of St. Thomas for saying "the supreme pontiff" must be BOTH "lawfully elected and accepted by the Church" a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 3. Do you think that a "supreme pontiff...

"Well, 'either one gives up the scapular or they give up immodesty'. The point is they cannot coexist."

By Mary's Secretary In my book  The Practice of the Presence of Mary: To Live and Die with Mary , I dedicated Part II to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Her scapular (fitting as Her feast is approaching), and I specifically mentioned how the scapular and spaghetti straps DO NOT go together. What I mean by that is I have noticed that those in the Church who DO NOT follow the Catholic dress code typically aren’t the ones wearing the scapular. I went on to say that modesty and the scapular go together and if you ever  were  immodest in dress, the scapular, being Our Lady’s sacramental that it is, gives one the grace to BECOME modest.  I can attest to this in my own life. Only after I was enrolled in the scapular did I begin, little by little, become modest. It’s a process. Kind of like the rosary quote, “one either gives up the sin or they give up the rosary.” Well, “either one gives up the scapular or they give up immodesty”. The point is they cannot coexist. In fact...

Fr. Chad Ripperger's Breastplate of St. Patrick (Modified) & Binding Prayer ("In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, and by the power of the Most Holy Catholic Church of Jesus, I render all spirits impotent...")

    Deliverance Prayers II  The Minor Exorcisms and Deliverance Prayers compiled by Fr Chad Ripperger: Breastplate of St. Patrick (Modified) I bind (myself, or N.) today to a strong virtue, an invocation of the Trinity. I believe in a Threeness, with a confession of an Oneness in the Creator of the Universe. I bind (myself, or N.) today to the virtue of Christ’s birth with his baptism, to the virtue of his crucifixion with his burial, to the virtue of his resurrection with his ascension, to the virtue of his coming to the Judgment of Doom.
