Honestly, from my end (Anglican/Protestant background), I've never heard anyone complain about the statement that "Mary is the Mother of God", it is always theological differences regarding Mary being an intercessory to God (like the Saints) and the rightness in praying directly to Mary or the Saints.
I'm going to have to keep my ears open more to hear the comments about the "Mother of God" complaint.. I may have just missed it....

As one of relatively few Catholics in an Indiana county with only one Catholic Church, surrounded by many different, and often rather zealous, I was exposed to such as this on a regular basis. One of my engineers, a rather zealous man, decided that he HAD to save me from Hell. It made things interesting.
