16 (Back to Article) . In 1854, the Apostolic Constitution defining the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, Ineffabilis Deus, was issued, affirming the wisdom and authority of the Church: "... From the very beginning, and before time began, the eternal Father chose and prepared for is only-begotten Son a Mother in whom the Son of God would become incarnate and from whom, in the blessed fullness of time, he would be born into this world. Above all creatures did God so love her that truly in her was the Father well pleased with singular delight. Therefore, far above all the angels and all the saints so wondrously did God endow her of his divinity that this mother, ever absolutely free of all stain of sin, all fair and all perfect, would possess that fullness of holy innocence and sanctity than which, under God, one cannot even imagine anything greater and which, outside of God, no mind can succeed in comprehending fully....
... For such is the eminent dignity and authority which belong to her that she is the centre of Catholic unity, that unity in which alone is inviolably guaranteed the deposit of religion, from which all the other churches must receive the tradition of the faith."

Schillebeeckx adds that "because the council forthrightly rejected the new title 'Mary, mother of the church', which had been introduced surreptitiously, but on the other hand did speak of Mary's 'spiritual motherhood of all believers', Paul VI felt called on to satisfy the minority position in the council in the final gathering of the third session of the council by making Mary 'mother of the church' on his own personal, and thus non-conciliar, authority."
