This DNA Discovery PROVES Mary's Immaculate Conception
Can science prove a 2,000‑year‑old Catholic doctrine? A viral claim says fetal microchimerism (fetal cells remaining in a mother’s body for decades) finally “proves” Mary’s Immaculate Conception—but this video explains why that leap confuses biology with theology.
📌 Microchimerism is real and fascinating, but original sin is not genetic material that can be detected in a lab test; it is a spiritual reality, so DNA can’t prove the Immaculate Conception. Instead, the doctrine is grounded in revelation and defined by the Church: Mary was preserved from original sin “from the first moment of her conception” by a singular grace, by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ.
✨ What You’ll Discover
– What fetal microchimerism actually is—and what it does not demonstrate theologically
– Why “sin is not biological,” and why category confusion weakens apologetics
– Luke 1:28 (“full of grace”) and why the grammar matters for Marian holiness
– The Catholic definition: what the Immaculate Conception is (and what it isn’t)
– Why Mary’s sinlessness magnifies Christ’s saving power rather than replacing it
– How to talk about “fittingness” (theological harmony) without pretending it’s scientific proof
– Practical steps: prayer, Scripture, and Marian devotion rooted in truth

Are you using “science” to replace faith—or letting real science deepen your awe while keeping doctrine grounded in revelation?
