My paternal grandparents and parents were very devout Catholics. I went to a Catholic and convent school, received confession every Friday, attended church every Sunday and had to say my prayers every night. Theology was one of my subjects at school. I am not religious and have not been since my parents died, but with all that in my background you would think…
…that I would know that the immaculate conception was to do with Mary, not Jesus. I had no idea. I always thought the Immaculate Conception was when Jesus was conceived, and the Virgin Birth was when he was born. Turns out the immaculate conception is about Mary and the Virgin birth is the conception of Jesus.
I only recently found out that the sun is a star rather than a planet, so I am looking forward to learning many more things that everyone knows but me!
