"Virginal conception" in the context of Christian dogmatics concerns how Jesus was conceived. "Immaculate conception" concerns how Jesus' *mother* was conceived. Thus, two totally different things. Namely, the dogma of immaculate conception says that Mary was exempt from the "original sin" (which for ordinary people is hereditary, but in order to let Mary be able to give birth to God she needed to be free of *any* sin, including the sins of Adam and Eve). The dogma of "virginal conception" says that Mary conceived Jesus although she was virgin.
