The Pope defined the dogma of The Immaculate Conception - confirming that, in the view of the Catholic Church, Christ\u2019s mother Mary had not only been \u2018full of grace\u2019, but was completely absent of sin even at her own conception - on 8th December, 1854.\nDespite this having been an unofficial concept amongst the faithful for centuries prior, it still proved controversial, with 10% of Bishops believing it should not be adopted as doctrine.\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly marvel at just how recently this fundamental principle of Catholicism was established; probe around in James, Brother of Jesus\u2019 Oedipal memoirs; and consider the role of Marian devotion in the Madonna-Whore complex\u2026\nFurther Reading:\n\u2022 \u2018Christianity: Immaculate Conception\u2019 (BBC, 2011): https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/beliefs/immaculateconception.shtml\n\u2022 \u2018Did Jesus Have Siblings?\u2019 (Franciscan Media): https://www.franciscanmedia.org/ask-a-franciscan/did-jesus-have-siblings\n\u2022 \u2018Pope Francis explains the Immaculate Conception\u2019 (Catholic News Service, 2013): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCGZRGkTq3U\nFor bonus material and to support the show, visit\xa0Patreon.com/Retrospectors\nWe'll be back tomorrow!
