The sons and daughters of Mary would be a whole other thread exposing the anochronistic interpretation by the RCC. Maybe another time.

You mean that Mary went back in time and had other children?

Strange, then how Luke thought it appropriate to include such an irrelevant exchange in his Gospel.

I think that Luke was indicating the influence that Mary had on Jesus.

He "disses" her more than once. Not sure how telling Jesus they are out of wine indicates a "special" relationship more so than any other relative or disciple. Did those around Jesus at the time of His other miracles also have a "special" relationship with Him?

Did anybody else get Jesus to do something that he plainly stated that he wasn't going to do?

She does seem to be the only He "disses" who is loosley connected to any of His miracles, which I believe is actually a subtle attempt by Jesus to prevent the inclination of some to elevate Mary to an object of worship of Mary.

He disses Peter as well on several occasions.

I would dissing one’s mother would be somewhat of a violation of “honor thy father and thy mother.”

You seem to have a penchant for getting things backwards.

After the birth of Jesus Mary "knew" Joseph and they had 4 sons and several daughters.

Matthew 13:
[55] Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
[56] And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?"

That's the secret (to you) message in

Matthew 1:25 but knew her not until she had borne a son; and he called his name Jesus.
