Yes, I know. However, I deny the accusation. I believe Christ was wholly man and wholly God. It’s the “Mary, Mother of God” thing that I am choking on.
I’ve read some about the ancient (and still modern) heresies, although I do not pretend to be an expert. But a lot of it is just semantics to me, however it might appear to those trained in the field.
So, let me put it in simple terms. The parent is always superior to the child in that the parent could exist without the child ever having been conceived, but the reverse is not true. There is no “Mother of God”.
Didn’t theCatholic Church have to purge its list of saints recently because some of them had either never existed, or were merely old pagan gods that had been included as an incentive for pagans to convert?? And who was the biggest divinity of ancient times? Wasn’t it the mother goddess, Cybele, Isis, etc.
Not saying that’s what happend, but couldn’t it have?
