I know that the decision to call Mary,the mother of Jesus Christ, immaculately concieved,was made by the whoever the pope was in 1854 A.D.,but,why did it take so long?Was it that divisive an issue in the Catholic church for that long?And,who decided that it should be taught as part of Catholic church doctrine?It's not in the Bible,but the immaculate conception of Jesus Christ is.1,854 years is an extremely long time to make up your mind about anything in my opinion. Maybe I'll try the Vatican's web site for further information.
