So we have 2 possible meanings, either it means the same thing that "Who is my mother" means or it means that Mary is able to:

Hear prayers, provide special intercession as the Mother of the Son of God, that she is the Mother of God, that she is the mother of the church, that she is the Queen of Heaven, that she was immaculately conceived, that she was ever virgin, the dispenser of all grace, that she gave birth while keeping a hymen intact, or that she is our co-redeemer, that she appears to people with messages, that she makes statues bleed, that she performs miracles from heaven.

Lets see...which meaning is supported by the bible and which one is supported only by Rome?

Are saying that Jesus made Mary the literal mother of someone that she wasn’t?

That’s what the verse says.

Ignoring for a moment the vitriol that appears to shine out of your prose, and going back to the Bible, what it is and how it was written and assembled, and understanding that it is an artifact produced by the Church of Christ, there has been here and on many other threads, the more than adequate Biblical justification of Catholic Marian thought.

I know, it’s hard to keep things straight when one’s beliefs and credos wobble around as theological fashions come and go. But it’s fascinating to watch. It sometimes gets wearying to watch the repeats of certain favourite heresies - and be able to trace their spontaneous eruptions through history, but that’s the way the heresy game seems to be played.

But to openly mock one of God’s gifts to us - one that certainly is Biblically justified, seems very odd.
