| Abstract: | The mystery of the Incarnation is inseparably linked with the doctrine of Mary’s virginity before, during and after the Birth of Christ. Full of grace, she embraced virginity under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, by whose sole and supernatural intervention the virginal Conception of Christ was brought about, as revealed in Scripture, confirmed by Tradition and sealed by dogmatic definition. The preservation of virginity during the birth of Christ follows in continuity with this divine plan, and the perpetual virginity of Mary is likewise founded upon her unique dignity as Mother of the Only-begotten Son of the Father. The arguments brought forward in this article present the historical framework and key figures of the polemics surrounding this Marian dogma, showing its continued importance today. |
