...the woman who gave the Word his flesh

(Sigh) Mary gave Jesus nothing that he didn't already have. He took it, without her consent.

There was no asking involved.

Mary got EVERYTHING from Jesus, good grief, did you forget that Jesus was God? The second person of the Holy Trinity?

"He took it, without her consent"

And hence the popularity of contraception among non-Catholic women who are afraid that non-Catholic men will imitate Christ and take what they want without asking.

Do tell. Jesus had a human nature before the Incarnation? So, on Christmas, we're celebrating that nothing much really changed?

He took it, without her consent.

Sounds like a criminal offense to me. Is that really how you think God operates? Sounds like something out of some other religion that's in the news a lot.

Perhaps you forgot about this line:

Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.”
--Luke 1:38
