I read in the Chicago Tribune, sunday Perspective dated 6/25/06 that "American bishops voted to change the words that the faithful have said in mass for decades. Instead of saying that Jesus was "born of the Virgin Mary" Roman Catholics will now recite that he was "incarnate of the Virgin Mary".

Is this true and if so does it change your position that Mary was the "Mother of God"?

Do you understand the word "inarnate"? It means "made flesh".

By pronouncing her "fiat" at the Annunciation and giving her consent to the Incarnation, Mary was already collaborating with the whole work her Son was to accomplish. She is mother wherever he is Savior and head of the Mystical Body.

Thanks for the clarification, I wasn't sure how your church was using the word.

This head of the mystical body stuff is where respect and admiration for a wonderful person devolves into cult type behavior. All this does is move the focus from the only source of our salvation JESUS.
