Unlike many other denominations however, it also teaches that Mary was conceived without [[original sin]] (the [[Immaculate Conception]]) as well as other doctrines not usually accepted by other Christian denominations.
 ===Marian Dogma===
 ====[[Theotokos]]====
 Theotokos is a Greek word and means "the one who gives birth to God". This doctrine was formulated by the [[Council of Ephesus]] in 431. The title "Mother of God" derives from this doctrine.
 ====[[Perpetual virginity of Mary]]====
-This doctrine asserts that Mary stayed virgin during and after the birth of Jesus Christ. In catholic exegesis the "brothers and sisters" of Jesus which are mentioned in the gospels and the acts are therefore usually seen as cousins.
+This doctrine asserts that Mary stayed virgin during and after the birth of Jesus Christ and thus had no other children. Passages in the Bible which mention the brothers and sisters of Jesus are understood by the Roman Catholic Church to be referring to counsins of Jesus.
 ====[[Immaculate Conception]]====
-This doctrine teaches that Mary was conceived without original sin, and was therefore sinless throughout her life.
+This doctrine teaches that Mary was conceived 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. It was promulgated a dogma by Pope [[Pius XII]] in 1950.
+The "Assumption of Mary" is the teaching that because of her sinlessness and because death is the result of sin, Mary never experienced a physical death but instead was raised alive into the presence of Christ. It was officially recognized as church doctrine by Pope [[Pius XII]] in [[1950 AD]].
 ====[[Roman Catholicism: Co-Redemptrix]]====
-This doctrine is controversially discussed inside the church. Pope Benedict XVI as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger stated that he is against an official proclamation of Mary as Coredemptrix.
+This doctrine is controversially discussed inside the church. It is not official church teaching and [[Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger]], prior to becoming the Pope, has previously stated his opposition to the doctrine being officially proclaimed.
-It is unclear what is meant by this title. Within the limits of traditional Catholic doctrine it could mean that Mary through her positive response to God's grace cooperates in the redemption brought by Christ.
+There are a variety of opinions as to what the title co-redemptrix means. It refers to Mary in some way participating in the redemption of humanity and within the limits of traditional Catholic doctrine it could mean that Mary through her positive response to God's grace cooperates in the redemption brought 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.
+This doctrine teaches that Mary is worthy of special [[veneration]] and devotion because of her special role in history.
