Catholic AnswerI am assuming that you are not referring to how to address your own natural mother. In the Catholic Church a woman is addressed "Mother" if she is a sister or nun who is the superior of her order. The Mother Superior, Mother Abbess, Mother Provincial, etc. are all addressed as Mother. In the case of Mother Teresa, originally she was a sister of the Sisters of Loretto who addressed all of their solemnly professed sisters as Mother. Later, when Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity she became their Founding Mother, as well as their Mother Superior. All such woman are address as "Reverend Mother" especially in writing, and should be shown the normal respect due to women, religious, and superiors by standing when they enter a room, and, if a man, removing your hat (if you're wearing one). I have included a website below that lists all the traditional marks of respect for various religious in the Church.

Are England and France the mother countries?

A "Mother Country" is the country a person was born in when he or she has emigrated to some other country. A "Mother Country" can also be the country that owns a colony and is thus the mother country of that colony. So, England is the mother country for people born in England who live in Australia, Russia, the US, or elsewhere, and similarly for France. In terms of colonies, England was the mother country of the colonies of the British Empire, and is sometimes called "mother country" by some in the Commonwealth of Nations. Similarly France was the mother country of the colonies in the French Empire, and may still be called that by some people in those, now independent, countries But for someone who was born, for example in Germany, or for someone in a former colony of the Netherlands, neither England nor France are "mother countries."
