Are you trying to second-guess God? God, at the very beginning of the world picked Mary as the Mother o Christ. Through him she was spared from original sin so that she could be a holy abode for the infant, Jesus, growing within her.

Prayers that you will someday understand.

No, but Catholic dogma apparently is.

God, at the very beginning of the world picked Mary as the Mother of Christ.

True.

Through Him [Mary] was spared from original sin

False. And nobody can cite any scripture which logically and reasonably supports the drawing of such an outlandish conclusion.

All have sinned, and fallen short of the Glory of God. All.

Christ was God. Mary was not. As Blessed as she was, she was still a sinner, just like you, me, and every Saint that ever lived.

There is absolutely no scriptural basis for claiming otherwise. Such claims represent the height of whimsical, man-made supposition. Wishing them to be true does not make them so.

If Mary had to be sinless so Jesus "could have a holy abode," then Mary's mother had to be sinless for the same reason. If Mary didn't have a holy abode she would have been stained by her mothers sin. And her grandmother, and great-grandmother ... and so on and so forth ...

By induction, Eve was sinless ...

Any fifth grade math student sees the contradiction ...
