“How can you say the immaculate conception of Mary is true when St Thomas Aquinas didn’t even believe it?” That is a question that I have had put to me by more than one protestant friend.

The first time I heard it it really struck me. To be honest it made me panic. But the fact is, St Thomas believed Mary was sinless, but he did not understand the immaculate conception as we do today.
