The Immaculate Conception is the Catholic teaching that Mary was conceived in the womb of her mother, Anne, without Original Sin, as a unique gift to her, in preparation for being the Mother of God.
It does NOT refer to the virginal conception of Jesus Christ in the womb of Mary. Only TV land and people not intelligent enough to get their theological facts from sources other than popular films use "Immaculate Conception" to refer to the conception of Christ.
The doctrine of the the Immaculate Conception is based on the assumption of St Augustine's notion of Original Sin, which teaches that all human beings, from the moment of their conception, carry the guilt and stain of the sins of the first human beings. It is from this guilt that Mary is said to have been uniquely preserved.
As this notion of Original Sin isn't accepted by Orthodox or other Christians, the Catholic teaching of the Immaculate Conception is seen by them as the solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Get the connecticut crab waddler mug.A female student attending Keene State on their daddys dime, but is actually saving money since they couldn’t get into UCONN. Even in January when its below zero you’d think you were in the tropics as they show up to class gleaming a healthy orange, wearing oversized sunglasses, and a white smile that’ll blind you instantly. You know they are prepared for the tough walk across the quad as they show up to class wearing their Gortex North Face, UGG boots, and black stretchy pants (not a bad thing!). Engaging in conversations with them will instantly lower your IQ, you are forewarned.
Kid 1: Can you imagine someone actually got a zero on that open book exam?
Kid 2: Ya it was that girl that sits to my left!
Kid 3: Oh her, shes such a Connecticut Special!
