You are supporting my statement - right?*The Council of Trent, although it did not make this solution obligatory by a definition, regarded it with favour and authorized its use (cf. Pallavicini, “Istoria del Concilio di Trento”, vii-ix). Original sin is described not only as the death of the soul (Sess. V, can. ii), but as a “privation of justice that each child contracts at its conception” (Sess. VI, cap. iii). But the Council calls “justice” what we call sanctifying grace (Sess. VI), and as each child should have had personally his own justice so now after the fall he suffers his own privation of justice. *

The council points out that original sin is contracted at conception. It further points out (in my own words) that God is infinitely merciful and can restore or bestow sanctifying grace in accordance with His own justice and mercy.
The dogma of the Catholic Church states that Mary was conceived immaculately, or without original sin. This dogma sets our Mother apart from most other people. Only Adam, Eve, Mary, and Jesus were created without the stain of original sin. This is fundamental to our understanding of the Blessed Virgin. Stating that original sin is contracted from the mother at some time after conception is a direct contradiction.
