Immaculate Conception
I confess that the Church's requirement that Catholics believe in the immaculate conception of Mary has been more of a source of befuddlement than inspiration for me. (St. Bernard of Clairvaux ridiculed the belief as a "puerile absurdity.") David Scott has an essay that tries to sort it out. (HT: Open Book)
