Mater Dei

Of the many things in this world that annoy the one thing that take precedence is how the Catholic church is referred to as “Christians” when the world at large tries to point at some sort of point of contention on what is believed of Christians.
Unfortunately many of these beliefs are not Christian doctrines but Catholic teachings, not even biblical. It was just an idea some respected individual thought of 3 centuries after the church was already established, that the over read, over fed, and over bred, decided to ratify. Case in point is the term Mater Dei. Modern parishioners would say the name refers to the Virgin Mary. But let’s look at the background of this term.
It all started back in 431 AD. The church that time was wrestling with an idea that was, and still is to babes in Christ, hard to wrap ones minds around. Was Jesus all man, or was he all God. The popular view was that Mary was the mother of God Theotoko, while the dissenting view point, led by Nestorius, Mary was only the Bearer of the Christ (Christotoko), God had always been manifest. Whether those of the popular belief truly believed the argument or rather believed because their leader believed is irrelevant. The dissenting view was outlawed.
These people were not arguing semantics; they were arguing point of views. So in the end what does is the meaning of Mater Dei? It means the mother of God, the creator of the creator, not the Christ which was but a part that was play, but the entity.

03 September
It was as hot as hell today got up around 94 degrees Farenheit. It was a beautiful day for helping someone move. Some poor girl was being evicted from her apartment and the Help ministry was going to help her. It was no surprise that it was going to be fucking hot, but as always my lack of foresight I didn’t hydrate before going out. Nope instead I drank coffee. Not only that I brought some coffee with me. By the time we finished packing up the apartment I was about spent. By the time we reached the storage place I was completely wiped, Dave and Tony pick me up some water on their way to the storage place, of course I had to go out of their way.
I made Mac and Cheese from scratch, not really a good idea. The oven heats up the apartment, and it was already 90 degree already. My filtered water was room temperature so it wasn’t any help. Around 2000 I remembered that an ice pack on one of my main blood vessels beats having the AC turned all the way up, which only brings the temp down by a couple of degrees.
