The dogma of The Immaculate Conception

Quote: Mosca

Other than discussing an interesting doctrinal point, what's the point

Actually, I think discussing the interesting doctrinal point has been what the OP intended. I didn't detect any Catholic bashing that I thought was intentional, and if anyone thinks I was up to any such, I apologize, not intending it.

I knew FrG addressed this before. Here is what he said:

Totally bogus and made up hogwash. Not in
the Bible, the Catholics made it up because
it fit their narrative. They made up lots of
stuff, but this takes the cake for absurdity.

The play's name is a pun derived from the Immaculate Conception. The phrase was first used on air by Myron Cope, a Pittsburgh sportscaster who was reporting on the Steelers' victory. A Pittsburgh woman, Sharon Levosky, called Cope before his 11 PM sports broadcast on the 23rd and suggested the name, which was coined by her friend Michael Ord. Cope used the term on television and the phrase stuck.

It really isn't necessary to make these comments.
