If you deny that Jesus Christ, the man who was born of Mary and lived in Nazareth, is God, the Second Person of the Trinity, then you are not a Christian, but have invented a new religion for yourself.

If you deny that Mary, an unknown Jewish girl until an ANGEL visited her, added MORE than FLESH to the Second part of the Trinity (which pre-existed her by ETERNITY), then you are a CATHOLIC, and have accepted a different gospel.

No Catholic has ever said that Mary is the origin of the eternal God.

Mary became the mother of Jesus Christ at the moment of his conception, in her womb.

Because Jesus Christ is God, Mary is called the Mother of God.

No one has ever said that Mary is in some way the origin or source of the eternal God or any one of the persons of the Trinity.

Saying that “I reject the notion that Mary is the Mother of God because Mary did not pre-exist God” is like saying, “I reject the notion that the earth is round because fire engines are red.”

Mary did not, of course, pre-exist God. Mary became the Mother of God at the moment she became the mother of Jesus, which occurred when she conceived him in her womb.
