Paragraph 2. “CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY”

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

496
From the first formulations of her faith, the Church has confessed that Jesus
was conceived solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin
Mary, affirming also the corporeal aspect of this event: Jesus was conceived
“by the Holy Spirit without human seed”.¹⁴⁶ The Fathers see
in the virginal conception the sign that it truly was the Son of God who came
in a humanity like our own. Thus St. Ignatius of Antioch at the beginning of
the second century says:
You are firmly convinced about our Lord, who is truly of the race of David according
to the flesh, Son of God according to the will and power of God, truly born of
a virgin,. . . he was truly nailed to a tree for us in his flesh under Pontius
Pilate. . . he truly suffered, as he is also truly risen.¹⁴⁷
