"Medieval debates on the Immaculate Conception, especially between Dominicans and Franciscans, were in part fueled by the feast’s popularity in England." and no mention of the Subtle Doctor Blessed John Duns Scotus?!?!?
Thank you, Edgar, for this really interesting historical perspective on the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. It seems that the sensus fidelium was key to its proclamation, however "inconvenient" it may have seemed to some at the time:
"Devotion to the Immaculate Conception is so great in Southern Italy that it played a role in Blessed Pius IX’s decision to declare the Immaculate Conception as dogma."

Such a wonderful history! "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!"
Muy interesante. Gracias!
Thank you for all the historical background. I learned a lot!
