"The title "Mother of God" comes from a time in Christian history when there was a debate over whether Jesus was two distinct persons in one body, or whether He was one person with two natures."

Implicit in the term "Mother of GOD" is that Mary was the creator of GOD and as such has special status.
Well... she is blessed among women and she did bear the Son of God, so therefore I think she has pretty special status.
Catholics do not believe that Mary is the creator of God. You believe Jesus is God don't you manifested in the flesh? She was His mother wasn't she? Therefore she is the Mother of God.

1. No mother creates her child. All children are created by God.
2. The term "Mother of God" occurs no-where in the mass, except when perhaps a song about Mary is included because its a feast day, or maybe the Hail Mary is added because of a coincident piety. On the other hand, the mass includes several references that would positively exclude the notion that anyone or anything created God.
... What I mean by point 2 is not that "mother of God" is somehow not considered fit to be in the mass, just that any church-going Catholic could not possibly be confused by that.
