We have no problem is saying that Jesus, the eternal Son of God, took His human nature from Mary. That's obvious.

But Jesus is a Person, with two natures, human and Divine; these two natures are UNITED in one PERSON. There's no “wall of separation” between His two natures.

Mary is the mother of a Person. She became His mother when He took flesh in her womb. She is not merely the mother of His human nature, she is the mother of the Person Jesus, Who is God, the Second Person of the Trinity.
Nobody is saying she gave birth to his eternal, Divine nature. That's been stated time and time again in the course of this enormous thread, now more than 6,500 posts in length.

You have to go further than what you said in your post. It doesn't include the full teaching about the Incarnation, and you've taken Pope John Paul's words out of context to try to “prove” an anti-Catholic talking point. It's a cheap debating trick, and it's glaringly transparent here.

Do you actually think I look for TRUTH from the Pope? LOL! Only his subjects do that.

GOD’s WORD is the FINAL AUTHORITY. Mary was obedient, a faithful servant. It ends there. Moses was obedient, Joseph, Abraham, Paul and the list goes on and on. They fulfilled their destiny - what they were called to do. Are you doing the same?

No one is called to spread heresy. Satan does that and deceives others to do the same.
