Little pedantic comment:
The expression Theotókos, which literally means, “she who has begotten God”,
No it doesn't ether. tokos pertains to birth, not to begetting. In medicine (speaks a guy who has many times had his hand up the wrong end of a ewe) dysTOCia (dis-TOE-shia) means a difficult birth, not a difficult begetting. The Latin term Deipara - is a good translation. Deigenetrix a little more abiguous, and HERE, maybe there could be seen, mistakenly, the idea that Mary 'begat' Jesus. But 'begetting' is a job for people of the guy persuasion.

But 'begetting' is a job for people of the guy persuasion. Absolutely, MadDawg!!!
Which is why I detest the very idea of female priests....
Oh, I am such a dinosaur!
May God forgive me if I offend Him!
Thank you dear brother in Christ for writing!
