Mary bore Jesus, and therefore is the mother of Jesus.

This is where you got things wrong about Catholic teaching. Clearly she is the Mother of God. The Motherhood of Mary does not mean she is the author of God. If we can say she is the mother of Jesus we can say that she is the Mother of God in the same way I can say God died on the cross for our sins. The teachings necessarily imply each other.

Your other issues are completely irrelevant to the question. Stop trying to invent them so. Its a poor excuse to dodge the real truth. You believe that Jesus is God, therefore you have to believe that Mary is the Mother of God.

Is she the mother of God the Father? Is she the mother of God the Spirit?

If she is the mother of God, then, by your logic, she must also be the mother of the Father and the Holy Spirit because they are also God....

But, as we know, she did NOT bear the Father or the Spirit, although they too are God. She bore Jesus. And yes, Jesus is God, but Mary cannot bear God. She bore Jesus, the human form taken by God the Son.

No, I do not have to admit this, because to admit it is to admit to error. My question is essential: do you believe that Catholics and Muslims worship the same 'merciful God' or not? It is a simple matter. If you agree with Rome, then all of your arguments are moot and founded on heresy. If you disagree with Rome, then you are affirming that there is error in Rome's teaching. And if there is error in the CCC, then the teaching about Mary in the CCC can also be in error -- which means you could be in error as well.

Are you in agreement with Rome, or not concerning CCC 841? It's a simple yes or no question... why do you refuse to answer it?
