I said, "Mother of Jesus the Christ. "

That is the most accurate description of the one who was borne by Mary.

Jesus the Christ.

The Father was not borne by Mary. The Holy Spirit was not born to Mary.

It was the incarnate 2d person of the Godhead who was born to Mary.

This is confusing because it denies the divinity of Christ.

Literacy matters.

Padre, do you think that Theotokos is confusing to Christians who recite and believe the words of the Creed? It would seem to me that Christians who recite the Creed would never misunderstand "The Mother of God". And those who don't recite the Creed and believe it have much greater problems than misunderstanding that term.

It was the incarnate 2d person of the Godhead who was born to Mary.

And that second Person was God.

Q.E.D.
