Matthew 12;46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. 47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Jesus could have been speaking in this context when he told John to take care of his mother at the cross. I'll go by the story in the Bible, you can have your "catholic answers" link.

I knew you could do it! Thanks for contributing something, some idea, besides just mocking Catholics. You are certainly free to interpret this in this way, but it goes against what I would consider a plain reading.
