Why do Catholics say that Jesus is true God and true man?
Jesus, as the Son of God, assumed a human nature and became one with us in all things except sin (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #470).
That made him true God and true man.
This is a great mystery of our faith: (John 1:14).
The divine nature and human nature united in the person of Jesus "without confusion or division" (Council of Chalcedon, A.D. 541).
Jesus is "Emmanuel," God with us.
