I believe some of you are really going to need an old lady in church, saying the rosaries on a Tuesday afternoon in the back row of your church to explain this one to you:
Pius IX promulgates the doctrine of Immaculate Conception (Ineffabilis Deus) – the Virgin Mary is free from original sin (and not the other thing some of you think.)
Later, she achieves permanent fame when despite of her marriage, she finds herself in the family way by her acquaintance with a Supreme Being.
December 8, 1952 –
In some weird cosmic irony, the episode Lucy Is Enceinte first aired on CBS-TV (“enceinte” being French for “expecting” or “pregnant“) on this date.
CBS would not allow I Love Lucy to use the word “pregnant“, so “expecting” was used instead. (CBS won’t let other people stream this episode, for free, any more.)
