What we call the Bible are sacred books and letters assembled and so recognized and authenticated by the Catholic Church.

Mary bore a Son, the Christ. He is both divine and human, and She is therefore the Mother of Christ as He Himself recognized her in one of his last seven words from the cross.

“Mother, behold your son.” (John 19:26-27)

“What we call the Bible are sacred books and letters assembled and so recognized and authenticated by the Catholic Church.”

What I call the Bible are writings inspired by God,
spoken through men as they were moved by God, 2/3
of which were given to God’s people, the Jewish nation,
which the early Christian Church recognized and accepted.
To this were added the books written by Apostles, and
a couple that had the ring of authority and truth.

“He Himself recognized her in one of his last seven words from the cross.”

Could you also share a passage where Christ refers to Mary
as Mother of God?

best,
ampu
