=="Holy Mary, Mother of God"==
===The [[Incarnation]] of God===
On the basis of these texts and the doctrine of the [[Ecumenical council]]s that Jesus is God the Son and remains God Incarnate from the moment of his conception in the womb of Mary his true mother, the Person of Jesus is by that fact according to nature henceforth and always her own Son. He who exists before her, by entering her womb and becoming incarnate (John 1:14), causes her to be ''[[ipso facto]]'' "by that fact" His own mother. This is a unique privilege bestowed on no other human being.
===Christian doctrine: Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, Protestant===
On the basis of these texts and the doctrine of the Ecumenical councils, [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]], [[Catholic Church|Catholics]], [[Anglican Communion|Anglicans]] and [[Lutheranism|Lutherans]] say without hesitation, "Holy Mary mother of God". The [[Protestant Reformation|Protestant Reformers]], [[Martin Luther|Luther]], [[John Calvin|Calvin]] and [[Ulrich Zwingli|Zwingli]] did not hesitate to use such language in speaking of Mary the mother of Jesus.
