FYI: 'Immaculate Conception' Does Not Mean What You Think It Means

It's a common misconception (no pun intended) that "Immaculate Conception" refers to the Roman Catholic teaching that the Virgin Mary conceived Jesus without having sex. But that belief is known as the Virgin Birth of Jesus. "The Virgin Birth refers to Jesus being born of a woman who was a virgin," the Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit priest and author, told HuffPost. "His birth is miraculous because Mary conceived a child without having sexual relations with a man."
