The Immaculate Conception is the Catholic dogma that the Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, was conceived in her mother's womb without the stain of original sin. A lot of folks mistakenly confuse the Immaculate Conception with the Virgin Birth of Jesus.
The Catholic Church teaches that the Bible is the word of God and infallible. However the Bible is only half of God's revelation to humanity. The other half comes from the apostolic tradition of the Church. EDIT: Only the Church has the authority to interpret Scripture, not a lay person.

In other words their made up doctrines have more authority than the very Words of God in the Bible.
