Summary/Abstract: The name of Mother of God - Theotokos is not only an appellation, a way of addressing the Blessed Virgin of the tribe of David, but it is a continuous affirmation that the Blessed Virgin gave birth to God the Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity become God-Man. By a decision of Pope Pius IX, Catholicism is endowed with a new dogma, the Immaculate Conception of Mary, a dogma completely foreign to the Eastern Church. Through this dogma received by Catholicism in 1854, the Virgin Mary would have been protected from original sin from her conception (from the parents of Joachim and Anna), due to those special worth of Jesus Christ.
