"Thank you, Petronius Nestorius Maximus."

Names are easy to call but harder to prove.

Your contention is that Mary was the mother of the First Person on the Trinity? Really?

No. What did I ever write that said anything remotely like that? Mary is the Mother of God. Six words. Where is any mention of the First Person to be found there? If one were to further specify the Person, it would be the Second Person and only the Second Person in his incarnate hypostatic union. If you insist that by being mother of the Second Person in his incarnate hypostatic union one is also asserting she is the mother of the First Person, then you are nuttier than Howard Dean.

What part of hypostatic union do you not get? She is the mother of the hypostatic union. But what is the hypostatic union? Not an abstract thing but a single, undivided Person in two natures, the Second Person. Not two Persons either, but one, because only one was incarnated.
