That Mary is the woman through whom God became flesh is not in dispute, but God (Specifically God the Son) has existed for all eternity, and has no mother.

I’ve attended Mass for many years, and increasingly, I am having difficulty embracing the official position on Mary.

Just being all objective and stuff (No, really!) I’d say the problem is the mystery of the incarnation. How great is the kenosis of which Paul writes in Philippians? I’d say great enough that God the Sn of God could take temporality up into himself.

Thanks for your reply:

It would also be correct to say the woman through whom someone fully human becomes flesh is the mother of this person. If that person is also fully God, it is correct to say she is the mother of God.

This is in order to be correct about the Incarnation. Other distinctions and theology of the Holy Trinity still apply.

Thanks again and may God bless you.
