I went with in laws to a Catholic Church service on Christmas Eve and the priest was referring to Jesus as God. This made me uncomfortable. Jesus is not God the father, at least that is what I was taught. Jesus was a God’s son made flesh.

I guess I would need to hear it in context. I know many protestants direct their prayers to Jesus instead of the father and that strikes me as odd because Jesus said to do the opposite. I know Jesus Christ is God but again back to marriage analogy and scripture...the husband is the head of the wife. I think the father is the head of Christ. It's not that Christ is inferior or not equal. It's just that these are their roles...it's the nature of the Godhead which is reflected, or supposed to be reflected, in marriage.
