Amen and exactly. If ever there was a chance for Mary to receive the adulation and veneration the RCC believes she deserves, it was at this point. Jesus Christ could have said "Yea, blessed is My mother." But He did not. The RCC Mary doctrine falls apart at this passage of Scripture. Or should.
Either He did not realize she was worthy of worship, or she was not worthy of worship.
Attention RCs who love to read just the red words in the Bible: read Luke 11:27,28. Christ said those words in verse 28. How do you possibly reconcile what He said to what you believe?

Jesus Christ could have said "Yea, blessed is My mother." But He did not. The RCC Mary doctrine falls apart at this passage of Scripture. Or should. You're right. That was the place for Jesus to bexalt His mother if that's what He wanted or thought was appropriate. What that woman said sounds SOOOOO Catholic, like in the Hail Mary, and Jesus, instead of commending her for it, shoots her down.
