Ang sagot sa mga patutsada ng mga sekta ng mga Protestante:
Objection
Mary couldn’t have been conceived immaculate, that is, free from Original Sin because she would not need a savior, since she would have nothing to be saved from. Yet, the Bible proclaims in Mary’s own words that she had a savior. “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior” (Lk 1:46-47).
Answer
The fact is correct. Mary did have a savior. However, the conclusion is erroneous. Mary’s Immaculate Conception indicates that she had a greater salvation. We have been saved curatively, that is, we contract Original Sin but Christ’s atoning death frees us from it. Mary, on the other hand, was saved preventatively, that is, she was saved from contracting Original Sin because of the infinite merits of her Divine Son.
A second objection that is voiced is based on Romans 3:23 and 11:32. Those passages are as follows.
Rom 3:23 “since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
Rom 11:32 “For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.”
The argument is made that these passages use “all.” “All” means just that all. It is a universal declaration that allows no exceptions. Thus to exclude Mary is contradictory to the clear meaning of these passages.
The problem with this interpretation is that this explanation of “all” includes Jesus. Yet, Jesus is clearly an exception (Heb 4:15). It would also include Adam and Eve, who were created by God free from sin. Jesus is an exception. Adam and Eve were exceptions. Clearly, then, Mary could be another exception without contradicting Romans 3:23 and 11:32.
If one argues that the passages cited in Romans refers to personal sin, as some Fundamentalists have done, the argument breaks down nevertheless. Jesus is clearly an exception. In addition, unborn babies are not capable of personal sin because they do not have the use of reason. St. Paul, for example, speaks of the time when Jacob and Esau were unborn babies as a time when they “had done nothing either good or bad” (Rom 9:11).
The reality is that there is no biblical basis for rejecting Mary’s Immaculate Conception, but there is compelling evidence to support it.
