Just as the Trinity is a mystery we accept on faith and cannot explain in human terms, the same is true of the simultaneity of Christ being both God and Man, and Mary’s role as mother of that same Christ.

Well said. While you're at it, we might as well attempt to straighten out the flock on the difference between the "Virgin Birth," and the "Immaculate Conception."

The "Virgin Birth" refers to the Birth of Christ.

The "Immaculate Conception" refers to the doctrine that The Virgin Mary, although conceived in the normal way,was born without Original Sin.

Mariolatry, including The Assumption of Mary into Heaven, and her Immaculate Conception, troubles many modern Protestants. However, these doctrines were not a problem for Martin Luther, nor were they for Henry VIII!

Yes, another vile blasphemy that separates catholics from God’s grace.
