You are using the earthly secular principle of a mother. It is NOT the same in God's supernatural kingdom. He gave us Scripture who his mother is - and that is according to His Kingdom. Why would anyone even think God's Kingdom would parallel this world shows they aren't thinking, IMO.

Matthew 13:55-57 "Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? "And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his home town, and in his own household."

Mark 6:3-4 "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" And they took offense at Him. And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his home town and among his own relatives and in his own household."

Acts 10:34
"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:"
"Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism".

Catholic teachings is an offense to God's Word. Believe them at your own spiritual expense.

Earthly anyway. This is what separates Christianity from Judaism and Islam.

We believe in the Incarnation.

It is a difficult teaching for some. It is what separates us from Judaism and Islam.

The Church proclaims:

"true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary , and became man."

Born of a woman, His mother, here, on earth.
