True or False

1. The Immaculate Conception refers to Mary's virginal conception of Jesus.
   False. The Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of Mary free from all stain of original sin.
2. The Church infallibility teaches that Mary was taken body and soul to heaven upon her death in Ephesus in 65 A.D.
   False. The Church does infallibly teach that Mary was assumed body and soul into heaven, but the dogma does not address the "where, when, and how" of the Assumption.
3. Nowhere in Scripture is the Blessed Virgin Mary identified as the biological mother of anyone other than Jesus.
   True
4. The Church no longer refers to Mary as a "mediatrix" because this teaching is incompatible with 1 Timothy 2:5."
   False. The Church calls Mary a mediatrix (cf. Catechism, no. 969, quoting Vatican II) because she participates in the one mediation of Christ.
5. Mary was not formally given the title "Mother of the Church" until Vatican II.
   True. Pope Paul VI made the solemn proclamation in 1964, during Vatican II. The doctrinal basis for the title, however, is neither novel nor controversial.
6. Because she was preserved from original sin, Mary did not need to be redeemed by her Son.
   False. Mary's Immaculate Conception was a singular grace and privilege bestowed on her in view of the merits of Jesus Christ.
7. Even though the Assumption was not dogmatically defined until 1950, this Marian doctrine is firmly rooted in Scripture and Tradition, including liturgical feasts dating back to the sixth century.
   True.
8. Mary was a virgin before giving birth to Jesus, but there was nothing out of the ordinary about the birth itself.
   False. The Church teaches that Mary was a virgin before, during, and after the birth of her diving Son, Jesus (Catechism, no. 510). Vatican II, citing the constant teaching of the Church, affirms that Christ's birth "did not diminish His Mother's virginal integrity but sanctified it."
9. Mary is called "coredemprtix" because she was an equal partner with her Son in the redemption of mankind.
   False. The term refers to Mary's unique cooperation in the redeeming work of her Son, but does not imply an equality with Him.
10. Genesis 3:20, in which Eve is called "mother of all the living," has a direct bearing on Mary's role as "Mother of the Church."
    True. Mary is the "New Eve" and the spiritual mother of all those who are alive in Christ.
