That is a total misinterpretation of what the Church actually teaches

Are you saying the RCC doesn't assign the divinity to Mary? What's ALL the 'co''s about?

In 2nd grade a nun corrected me when I said the mother of Jesus by saying she is the mother of God. I already knew God already existed - so how could he born? They consistently said mother of God for a reason. Because she didn't 'just' give birth to the man, JESUS. The man JESUS, Who died for our sins, WASN'T ENOUGH! And still isn't to the RCC with the 'works' mentality, or praying to Mary as 'co mediator'.

They don't teach about pre existing God but that is what they are implying without saying it - yet say it with their 'co's. She is the mother of the man, JESUS. It ends there! But that isn't good enough, is it?

She is the mother of the man, JESUS. It ends there! But that isn't good enough, is it?

No, it's not good enough. The "man", Jesus, is also God. Mary is the mother of the PERSON, Jesus. He is a Divine Person, with two natures, human and Divine. These two natures are united in His Person, not separated. Mary became His mother at the moment of His conception in her womb, by the power of the Holy Spirit. She was not His mother before this point.
She is the mother of the Person, not merely of His human nature. Your assertion to the contrary is the essence of the old Nestorian heresy, which no mainline Christian church holds to anymore.

There have been literally thousands of posts here on this forum over the past ten years explaining this teaching to death. I'm not going to start all over again from the beginning. You've been here constantly through these years, you can look at the posts/links, etc. explaining the Catholic teaching about Mary.

"What's ALL the 'co''s about?"

As described ad nauseum (literally until we are sick of it) co, in this case does not mean equal. From the Latin "cum" it means with.
