Summary/Abstract: The truth of the Immaculate Conception was the focal point of Newman's teaching on our Lady. It was a fitting preparation for her who was to be the Mother of God Incarnate. From her divine Motherhood flow all her other privi- leges. The point that seemed to Newman to be conclud sive in proving the Im- maculate Conception of Mary was that it flows as on immediate interence from that other doctrine of Mary being the Second Eve. She was a child of Adam and Eve as they had never fallen. She inherited the graces which Adam and Eve pos- sessed in Paradise. Catholic belief in the Immaculate Conception is only a natu- ral corollary to the more fundamental truth of the Divine Maternity
