"In the same way, a communion wafer isn't wine."

I (again) recommend that you investigate the difference between substance and property.

"Taken from the intact Virgin, the Flesh of Jesus is of the maternal flesh of Mary, the Blood of Jesus is of the maternal blood of Mary. Therefore, it will never be possible to separate Jesus from Mary." - St. Thomas Aquinas

Therefore, if Jesus = God, then Mary = God.

St. Thomas was pontificating about a biological condition that was not known very well in his day. They thought that the fetus was a tiny little person "seed" enclosed in sperm that got planted in the woman's womb and grew from there. They looked at the mother as only being the incubator for the baby. Because Jesus had no human father by whom the "seed" of him was planted, guys like Thomas came up with all kinds of explanations for what happened including that all that Jesus had in his human body came solely from his mother. Theologians in the thirteenth century were NOT biologists, obviously.
