You dont even know your church history?
First Council of Ephesus
Canons and declarations
The Virgin Mary was to be called Theotokos a Greek word that means "God-bearer" (the one who gave birth to God). [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/First_Council_of_Ephesus]
And from catholictradition. Org
It is a common notion to summarize the Council of Ephesus as the event "where Mary's title, Mother of God, was defended and solemnly proclaimed." This is, of course, true.

If they hang around here reading non-Catholics posts long enough, they just might learn their church history...;)
i suggest you look up “Nestorius” and “Nestorianism”, educate yourself and stop making a fool of yourself.
i know nothings like knowing nothing, but just for kicks some may want to actually read and learn.
but, it’s more fun telling “untruths” i know, you see the natural man must do the will of his father.
Jesus said so.
this may suprise the know nothings, but Christians believe Jesus is God. Christians believe He always was God and always will be God. Christians also believe that Mary bore Jesus in her womb. Christians believe the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and Jesus was conceived.
it also may suprise the know nothings that Christians believe Mary is to be called Theotokos, which means God bearer.
Why do Christians believe this? Because Mary bore Jesus, who is God, therefore she is rightly called “God bearer”
uh oh, the know nothings just got an education on Christianity!!
Jesus Christ is God, the second person of the holy Trinity. He is one person with two natures, human and divine. Mary was the human mother of Jesus Christ, and hence “Mother of God”. I guess you and the others that take cheap shots at the Council of Ephesus and go on about the pagan “Diana” are Nestorians rather than Orthodox Christians.
