May you who conceived without sinning help us to sin without conceiving

This joke shows your ignorance in religious subjects. In Catholic theoligy, Mary conceived without sin means conceived without the original sin (the tendency to sin that is innate to being human and is ‘inheritad’ from Adam after the rebellion to God). It has nothing to do with sexual intercontinental (like you imply with your joke). Go back to school (or at list use more Wikipedia and AI)

No, it doesn't. It's a funny joke.

While Mary was, according to Catholic teaching, conceived without sin, she also conceived Jesus without sin. Mary wasn't married when Jesus was conceived, so conceiving him the conventional way would have involved sin on at least one parent's part, again by the definitions of the Catholic church. Mary was both conceived without sin, and she conceived Jesus without sin.

Of course, marital sex isn't a sin, according to the Catholic church. So the above prayer would only apply if you're a heterosexual unmarried couple. But it's still funny!

I think it’s a little funnier if you believe it because the tinge of guilt you feel just adds to the experience.

But it’s funny if you are atheist or Protestant or whatever.

I am not Catholic, but my favorite saints are St. Francis and St. Theresa of Avila. I find their writing’s beautiful and inspiring.

I follow an Irish comedian on Insta and she had a scarf around her neck and her neighbor asked her if the scarf was helping her with her soar throat and she said of course I put it out on 1/31 and St. Bridget blessed it and it's a healing scarf.

Now i'm mad I forgot to put a scarf out on 1/31 and I have to wait a whole year.

The real joke is on you. Humans are not capable of parthenogenesis. And, even if they were, Jesus should have been a female, not a male.

Instead of getting on your knees and praying to saints, spend a little more time studying biology.

If you believe in God you believe also that nothing is impossible to God. God has no need to use parthenogenesis to generate a new life. Mary was not a bee or a Komodo dragon. Lol

Father Damien is a well-recognized historical figure. There are contemporaneous photographs. He died in 1889, at 49 years of age, after moving to the island of Molokai in 1873. Molokai at the time essentially was a quarantine/prison island for people suffering from (then untreatable) leprosy. Damien contracted the disease and died of it. All of this is well-established and documented.

Yes, also Saint Marianne Cope was in the same island and worked with Saint Damien

LOL. The whole 'Virgin Birth' thing.

It all hinges on the Hebrew word almah, which just means 'young woman.' The Greeks get a hold of it, translate it to parthenos, and suddenly, we’re not just talking about a teenager having a baby, which, let's be honest, happened every twenty minutes in the ancient world, we’re talking about a biological impossibility. The Church basically spent two thousand years looking at a clerical error and saying, 'No, no, it’s not a typo, it’s a feature!'"

Ha! Catholic here and I've never heard this one before. It's funny and kind of sweet.
