He didn’t condemn her, just gently moved her in a different direction.

Luke 11:38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.”

Yes and that is what non Catholics have made attempt to do. Take these responses of Jesus in regards to his mother and you can plainly see how Jesus is guiding their attention to the fact that ALL believers and obeyers of God are blessed, and that special emphasis is not to be made on Mary and his other earthly family, he goes so far as to try and put a halt to any possible veneration by stating that whoever does the will of the Father in heaven is just as his mother (and brothers.)

“Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it. (Luke 11:28)”

48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

Can a religion defend putting such emphasis on Mary as to call her Queen of Heaven, her coming to earth to give visions, crafting statues and artwork showing her full of glory, having beads in her name that you pray over etc even after reading in the Bible the context in which Jesus Christ taught his followers regarding the subject?
