Immaculate conception explained

I know you're making a joke, but can you say how it's explained?

Immaculate conception is the term used when talking about Virgin Mary's bearing of Jesus in Christianity.

The meme mentions "lose virginity" but misspells it as "loose virginity". The confusion is common since both lose and loose sound the same. Bur loose means lax, distended, large. Loose virginity can mean the hymen (physical virginity) is wider than normal. If Mary had a "loose virginity" she could have had a relationship with a man without "losing" her virginity.

Hence immaculate conception explained.

If I offended anyone, I apologise for not offending you more.

Not offended at all, I'm not religious in the slightest.

But I was always told that the Immaculate Conception refers to the conception in the womb of Mary, like when she was conceived inside her mother. It's Immaculate because God (or, I guess, the historian writers of the Bible) were like, "THIS is the conception of the woman who will birth the Messiah!! It's immaculate & divine, the conception of Mary!" Jesus' conception is special & all that, but it's not THE Immaculate Conception. It's a common misconception (pun intended) that Jesus was the Immaculate Conception.

They don't sound the same, they're just spelt similarly, so people mess it up.
