{{links}}==Main article== Like other Christian [[denominations]], the Roman Catholic Church teaches Mary, a virgin, was the mother of Jesus. Unlike many other denominations however, it also teaches that Mary was born without original sin (the [[Immaculate Conception]] as well as other ideas that are not accepted by other Christians. ===Marian Dogma=== ====[[Theotokos]]==== ====[[Perpetual virginity of Mary]]==== This doctrine asserts that she had no children before Jesus or after Him. ====[[Immaculate Conception]]==== This doctrine teaches that Mary was born without original sin, and was therefore sinless throughout her life. ====[[Assumption of Mary]]==== This teaches that because of her sinlessness, Mary never experienced a physical death – the result of sin. Instead, she was raised bodily into the presence of Christ. ====[[Roman Catholicism: Co-Redemptrix]]==== This doctrine holds that the obedience and sufferings of Mary were involved in securing the full redemption bought by Christ. ===Hyperdulia - Special veneration=== This teaching holds that because of her unparalleled role in salvation, Mary is worthy of special [[veneration]] and devotion. There are three specific terms of worship and veneration in Catholicism: latria – adoration that is due God alone, dulia – veneration afforded to the saints, and hyperdulia – special veneration given to Mary. ===[[Marian prayers]]=== ====[[Rosary]]==== ===[[Marian apparitions]]=== ==Links==
