Then use the name of Jesus and call Mary *mother of Jesus*, just like God the Holy Spirit did when HE inspired Scripture.

Then don't use the word Trinity, or any English translation of the bible.

Your position is untenable, since the Holy Spirit did not "fail" in not explicitly saying "Mother of God." I reject that interpretation since I know that the passages entail a necessary connotation. Mary is the "Mother of the Lord." (Lk 1:43) Mary is the Mother of God.

I reject that interpretation since I know have been indoctrinated thoroughly enough that the passages entail a necessary connotation must be spoken according to the Roman Catholic formula which is never found in Scripture.

There, fixed it!

There’s a real danger in feeling free to change the word of God because you don’t think it expresses concepts well enough.

Honestly, *mother of Jesus* is about identifying Mary, not Jesus, and it does a perfectly adequate job in identifying her.

Since it was never a statement about who JESUS is, then it doesn’t really matter whether Catholics think that it clears up confusion about the deity of Christ or not.
