[Pope Continues Heresies About Mary Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries] 
linger: "Pope Francis venerated the statue of the Immaculate Conception on December 8 and invited others to join him. The statue was created in 1857 as a mark of the Roman Catholic belief that Mary was conceived without sin. "I ask you to spiritually unite yourselves to me in this pilgrimage, which expresses filial devotion to our heavenly mother," he said. The concept of the "immaculate conception" was declared by Pope Pius IX on December 8, 1844, who issued a proclamation stating, "The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin."
[Mike Gendron Comment] The doctrine of Mary's pure conception without sin is pure heresy. Catholic doctrine, not only teaches that Mary was sinless, but that she has power to save. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC)] teaches "Mary did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation" (CCC, para. 969). "The Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things. In giving birth, you kept your virginity. You conceived the living God and, by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death" (CCC, para. 966). Read more of Mike's interview with CNN here."
