The New Eve - The History of the Immaculate Conception

Pope Pius IX issued the Apostolic Constitution “Ineffabilis Deus” on December 8th, 1854, the day of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, declaring the Immaculate Conception a dogma. This begs the question: why did it take nearly 19 centuries to declare dogmatically such a bold statement of Truth? The Immaculate Conception is a belief with deep roots in Catholic Tradition and a rich history that spans nearly two millennia to reach this dogmatic decree, and that’s what we will be exploring today: where did the Immaculate Conception come from, and how did the doctrine develop into the understanding of the dogma we have today.
