Her motherhood does not, therefore, extend to all the Trinity, but only to the Second Person, the Son, who, in becoming incarnate, TOOK HIS HUMAN NATURE FROM HER.
Pope John Paul II makes this crystal clear in the above excerpt. Why is it that the Pope's subjects CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS?
NOT believing GOD's WORD is the FINAL AUTHORITY - will led to deception every time.

We have no problem is saying that Jesus, the eternal Son of God, took His human nature from Mary. That's obvious.
But Jesus is a Person, with two natures, human and Divine; these two natures are UNITED in one PERSON. There's no “wall of separation” between His two natures.

Mary is the mother of a Person. She became His mother when He took flesh in her womb. She is not merely the mother of His human nature, she is the mother of the Person Jesus, Who is God, the Second Person of the Trinity.
Nobody is saying she gave birth to his eternal, Divine nature. That's been stated time and time again in the course of this enormous thread, now more than 6,500 posts in length.
You have to go further than what you said in your post. It doesn't include the full teaching about the Incarnation, and you've taken Pope John Paul's words out of context to try to “prove” an anti-Catholic talking point. It's a cheap debating trick, and it's glaringly transparent here.

1. We are not il papa's "subjects"
2. We believe that God himself is the Final authority -- and God speaks to us through Scripture which as collected and compiled by The Church and Holy Tradition is infallible and through The Church and Holy Tradition
