And yet to say that Jesus was a container for God is not Christian at all.

No one is saying that “Jesus was a container for God”, I dont know where you are getting that idea from. , Catholic theology however insists that Mary was a container, an ark, a boat, a coffin,a tomb for God. God’s Spirit rests, abides within us. We are not containers, we are tabernacles, a house of rest.

The Ark was never "a container for God". the whole idea is ludicrous. God rested His Presence on it between the two carved angels. The Presence sometimes left, He was not caught in a box ,much as some like to think
