The problem isn’t so much the phrase “Mother of God,” since, even though it has no basis in the scripture, people saying it can understand it as meaning the mother of Jesus, and not of His divinity. However, the problem with the way the RCC uses it, is they, in practice, make her the mother of His deity too, and thus put the Mother on equal grounds with the son; nay, perhaps on a superior level, since she is able to save people from His wrath, who He Himself would not have saved unless she stepped in and placated His anger. Thus the RCC use the term to prop up their idolatry.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

"...since, even though it has no basis in the scripture, people saying it can understand it as meaning the mother of Jesus, and not of His divinity."

And four times over, thank you. That is exactly what we mean.

"...However, the problem with the way the RCC uses it, is they, in practice, make her the mother of His deity too, and thus put the Mother on equal grounds with the son; nay, perhaps on a superior level,..."

Not true, This would be idolatry. It would be making a creature equal with the Creator, which is impossible.

"... since she is able to save people from His wrath, who He Himself would not have saved unless she stepped in and placated His anger. Thus the RCC use the term to prop up their idolatry."

You have a pretty comprehensive misunderstanding of what you are saying. Mary's ability to pray as intercessor is the same as your, my, or anybody's ability to help others by intercessory prayer. Greater than mine, though, because of her great holiness: "Behold, all generations will call me blessed."
Find me in the Catechism where it says that she intervenes to save some "who[m] He Himself would not have saved unless she stepped in and placated His anger."
You may have encountered this in some genre of mystical writing, meaning, something reported as 'private revelation,' but this is not a part of Catholic doctrine. Quite the contrary, Mary is the Lord's handmaid, not the director (or corrector) of the Savior!
Glad you gave the the opportunity to clarify the non-doctrinal status of purported 'private revelation'.

The emphasis is to often on what the Lord owes to Him mother, and your is is a warranted protest versus "you attack the mother of God" - and invoking the 5th commandment.
