welcome to the forums, love your screenname
you can save a lot of time by checking out the stickies on each forum, and if you have a frequently asked question like this, first check out the library and tracts on the CA homepage. The article you want is under Mary and the Saints. catholic.com/library/Immaculate_Conception_and_Assum.asp
this will save you a lot of time, as searching the forums has become quite time consuming. After reading the basic doctrine, why not come here for discussion. We enjoy it.
