Was Mary Sinless?

Was Mary, the mother of Jesus, sinless? Did she NEED to be?

The sinlessness of Mary is a prevailing Catholic teaching formally defined as a Catholic doctrine in 1854 with roots that go back to the Early Church Fathers.

The idea is that, in order to be acceptable before God to fulfill this special role, she had to be without sin.

Often, when we hear Catholic apologists or teachers discuss this topic certain texts will be used that non-Catholic Christians don't recognize as authoritative in the same way that Scripture is. If a Catholic tells a Protestant that "the Apocrypha says..," and the Protestant believes that apocryphal source as a later addition, a fabricated text, or a contradiction to the 66 book canon, why would they accept it?

In this episode, however, we discuss 2 Instagram reels by Catholic pages that attempt to prove Mary's sinlessness by strictly using biblical truths and verses.

While the method is one I respect and appreciate because it meets non-Catholics where they're at, as a non-Catholic, it is pretty easy to see where these arguments fall off the tracks a bit.

So, what DOES the Bible say about Mary and which verses do Catholics use as support for this teaching that doesn't explicitly come from Scripture itself/alone?
