“”Based on Catholic teaching that the Trinity comprises the Godhead, saying that Mary was the mother of God, would also include that Mary is the mother of God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit””
Dear Sister, you claim you understood what the Church teaching was when you were in the Catholic Church,but obviously there are many basic teachings you did not understand.
Here is something from Lumen Gentium to help you

“”The Virgin Mary, who at the message of the angel received the Word of God in her heart and in her body and gave Life to the world, is acknowledged and honored as being truly the Mother of God and Mother of the Redeemer. Redeemed by reason of the merits of her Son and united to Him by a close and indissoluble tie, she is endowed with the high office and dignity of being the Mother of the Son of God, by which account she is also the beloved daughter of the Father and the temple of the Holy Spirit.””
I hope your health is doing better these days,I have prayed for you
I am looking at the plain meaning of what it says and what it means.
The phrase *mother of God* says, mother of GOD.
Calling her *Mother of Christ*, or *Mother of God the Son* is more accurate and less misleading. It does not give any false impressions about who she is mother of.
The rationalization that the Catholic church and some Catholics give to justify a term that means something other than what it says, just does not wash.
Is it too hard to be precise about something?
God does not, did not, have a Mother. God the Father didn’t, God the Holy Spirit didn’t. Unless the Trinity isn’t what Catholics say it is, and the Father is the Son is the Holy Spirit and they are modes of each other, then calling her mother of God is not accurate.
Even so, she was mother of Jesus’ humanity, His flesh and blood human body, not His godhood. And the term mother of God does not delineate that. Calling her mother of Christ would recognize that.
No progress on the food issues. But it’s not any worse either. Thank you for your prayers.
A fun and illuminating past time is to count the heresies that appear in these threads. Nestorianism is a big one.
