Bible Note: I'm not Roman Catholic, but this intrigues me. The statement - "rather than the mother of the physical properties of Jesus of Nazareth" - is claiming that Jesus is not fully god and fully man. This is a serious heresy that was condemned by the third Ecumenical council held in Ephesus in 431 A.D.
