Editing Impeccability (section)

=== The Virgin Mary ===
The Roman [[Catholic Church]] teaches that [[Mary, mother of Jesus]] was, by a special [[divine grace|grace]] of God, without sin throughout her life. This included the [[Immaculate Conception|moment of her conception]], so Mary was even miraculously preserved from [[original sin]] and its effects. Some theologians have asserted this special grace extended to impeccability (understood in this context as the inability to sin); others argue this could not be so: as a natural human being, she would have had [[Free will in theology|free will]] and therefore the ''ability'' to sin but through her cooperation avoided it.
