Mary was the Ark of the New Covenant -- carrying Christ within her womb. Of course, she was pure and sinless.

Using that logic, it would be logical to conclude that Mary's mother was sinless as well. We couldn't have the sinless "Ark of the Covenant" be carried in the womb of a sinful human, could we?

If that were the case, then the same miracle which kept Mary sinless while being carried in the womb of her sinful mother could have kept Jesus sinless as He was carried in the womb of His sinful mother.

Sin doesn't rub off on people. It's not contagious with physical contact.
