Per the doctrine of the Trinity, does The Son put aside his humanity after the Ascension?

I was reading this blog post earlier today about Biblical references to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This particular phrase caught my eye:

According to the Trinity doctrine, the Second Person upon the Ascension puts aside his humanity, takes back his divine privileges and resumes his seat at the right hand of the First Person.

Is this a correct Trinitarian understanding of the Son, that in the hypostatic union the humanity either was done away, or receded somewhat after the Ascension?

Either way, are there any authoritative references that either state that Christ remained or did not remain “fully human” after His mortal life? Thanks in advance.

That’s not what the Church teaches. The whole point of the Ascension is that Jesus, fully God and fully man, raises up our humanity to the heavenly kingdom. As the preface of the Mass of the Ascension says, “where he has gone we also hope to follow.”

Also when Jesus ascended to Heaven HE left us a very tangible part of HIM in the Eucharist. Just as GOD sent the mana in the desert for the Israelites so GOD sends us HIS body and Blood in the Eucharist to feed our souls and bodies. If HE had relinquished HIS body how could HE do this?
GOD the SON as the Church teaches from the beginning “Fully man and Fully GOD”.
 
Also, the whole point of Jesus ascending and being our eternal, ultimate High Priest and Sacrifice, gets talked about a lot by St. Paul, because Jesus has “gone up” to the cosmic Holy of Holies and presented Himself to the Father, just as the High Priest did for Israel in the earthly Holy of Holies, in the days of the Temple.

And when Jesus comes out of the Holy of Holies and “comes down”, that will be the Second Coming.
