Father Leo, a priest with a degree in Mariology, discussing the theological significance of Mary's sinlessness and the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. He critiques a debate between a Catholic apologist and a Protestant from "needgod.net," arguing that Protestants often misunderstand the distinction between actual sin and the fallen nature (concupiscence) inherited from original sin. Father Leo explains that God provided Mary with "prevenient grace" to be a worthy vessel for Jesus, positioning her as the "New Eve" who reverses the fall of the original Eve. He emphasizes that while the Bible doesn't explicitly detail every aspect of her life, her title "full of grace" implies a total absence of sin. Ultimately, he suggests that Mary serves as a model for the human destiny of holiness and that rejecting her role often leads to a diminished understanding of God's desire for our own purity.
