Immaculate Conception
:This article refers to the theology of the immaculate conception of Mary, Mother of Jesus. For the story of the immaculate conception of Jesus Christ, see Virgin Birth (Christian doctrine).
Common misinterpretation
There is a widespread misunderstanding of the term immaculate conception. Many people, even Catholics, believe this refers to the conception of Jesus by Mary. Nearly every time this term is used in television or in popular culture, it is in reference to the conception of Jesus by Mary. The conception of Jesus by Mary is more properly called the incarnation of Christ. The phrase has absolutely nothing to do with the separate concept of the "Virgin Birth".
