Immaculate Conception

Today we celebrate an event that only a person of the truest faith in Christ can uphold, because you won't find it in Scripture and you may even find Catholic scholars down the centuries disputing it. In order to believe that Christ is who He was, we must believe that Mary is who the Church says she was. There are gobs of things I could submit for your review, but you can Google as well as I. Here are a few choice websites that offer insight on the subject:

Catholic Encyclopedia
Marianists
Catholic Apologetics
Cardinal Newman
Duns Scotus

And of course the two indispensables:
American Catholic
Catholic Culture

I would also like to remind you all that today is a Holy Day of Obligation. Say a prayer for me :)
