>>Nowhere in Scripture does Jesus refer to Mary as “mother.”

Instead He calls her “woman.” <<

So?
I never called my mother “Mother”. I called her Ma. She called her mother “Baba”. Your understanding of scripture has no historical basis in cultural context.

Sorry you can’t see past your own American culture. That’s why you don’t understand. But seriously, Baby Jesus who grew up and was the same person that died on a cross for us, was not American and can’t be expected to live up to your American culture.

And yet you insist Scripture allows Mary to be called the "mother of the church" and the "mother of God."

lol. Consistency is not Rome's strong suit.
