Reads like catholicism, probably
is catholicism.
In which case why does Mary need to be perfect?
The means of sin, originally introduced by Eve but transmitted to everyone else
via Adam, was absent from Jesus NOT because His mother was sinless but because HIS FATHER was sinless. Check out your own dogma here:

Although the soul is not transmitted, because the power in the semen is not able to cause the rational soul, nevertheless the motion of the semen is a disposition to the transmission of the rational soul: so that the semen by its own power transmits the human nature from parent to child, and with that nature, the stain which infects it: for he that is born is associated with his first parent in his guilt, through the fact that he inherits his nature from him by a kind of movement which is that of generation.
