Does Scripture Support Mary’s Sinlessness?

Question:

Where is the scriptural backing that Mary is without sin and that she was born of Immaculate Conception? It says in Scripture that Jesus is the only one without sin.

Answer:

First, God has revealed his word not simply through Sacred Scripture but through Sacred Tradition as well, and the latter undeniably preceded the former in the New Covenant era (see, e.g., Acts 2:42). For more on Scripture and Tradition as the source of God’s word, please see our booklet Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth.

As for the scriptural record regarding Mary’s sinlessness, please see this article from our magazine and our tract on the Blessed Mother’s Immaculate Conception and Assumption into heaven.
