I am happy to be called friend, however, being told loving the Mother of God is “cultic adoration” is discourteous.
Should a person wish to bring another to their point of view, the best is by charity and courtesy.
Additionally, being called a “Romanist” is an historic derision.
I am happy to listen to other points of view, and challenge my own beliefs, but I don’t care to be insulted or put down.
How can God have a mother? Herein lies the mystery of the dual nature of Christ. He was both fully Man and fully God. But Mary was not the mother of His Divine Nature - she was the mother of His physical body and His human nature. God cannot die, yet Jesus had to die to atone for the sins of the world. It was that physical, human aspect of Jesus that had to die on the Cross for our sins - it was that aspect of His nature that Mary was mother to.
Me; neither; but I've learned to consider the source...
"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours." — Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)
Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema. — Vatican 1, Ses. 4, Cp. 1
