My perusal of this site has enlightened me to these three cases where a person is spoken of as being sinless from the womb. According Catholic Church were all three born sinless? 1) Mary according to the Church cleansed of all stain of sin from conception. 2) John the Baptist cleansed during the visit from Mary while he was in the womb. 3) Recently I read here https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/45451/origin-of-the-story-that-james-had-knees-as-hard-as-a-camels-because-of-prayin in a great answer that according to Eusibius quoting Hegesippus that James brother of Jesus was sinless from his mothers womb. As that was a new one on me I am asking if the Catholic Church states that all three were in fact born sinless and what similarities and differences are there among these.
