From DeoOmnisGloria from David Armstrong
Romans 3:23: "...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." {NRSV}
I'm still looking for a good answer on the "for all have sinned" question in regards to Mary. The "all doesn't always mean all" answer is not satisfactory since I am sure there are references where all does mean all!
You can read the rest in the article.
This reminds me of my favorite Catholic joke-
Jesus is standing with the crowd about to stone Mary Magdalene for prostitution when Jesus says "he who is without sin may cast the first stone." Suddenly, a rock comes flying through the air and hits Mary Magdalene between the eyes, killing her instantly. Jesus looks into the crowd and in frustration yells, "Mom!"
