i suppose many will consider this overly simplistic, but i know that Mary did not commit personal sin because the only valid teaching authority in the world says that is true.
beliefs are beliefs because they cannot be proven.
beliefs can be more reasonable and less reasonable.
in general, it is more reasonable to believe that Jesus gave His authority to the apostles and their successors so that we need not overly concern ourselves divine mysteries.
when we meditate upon or contemplate divine mysteries, the right attitude to take is one of awe and wonder. the wrong attitude to take is one of how can this be or what if we have the divine mystery wrong. approaching the divine mysteries with the wrong attitude will not result in good fruit.
