'''Mariology''' is the general study of [[St. Mary]], the mother of [[Jesus Christ]], which is generally considered important for understanding why Mary was the mother of Jesus.
[[Catholicism|Catholics]] hold Mary much higher than [[Protestantism|protestant]]s do, typically praising her as a righteous woman, which is fertile ground for [[God]]'s incarnation. The [[immaculate conception]], which holds that Mary was born without [[original sin]], is official Catholic doctrine. Protestants generally consider Mary a sinner like the rest of humanity and do not uphold Mary in most ways, although she is typically still respected as the mother of God.
