As you know, Catholics do not rely on Scripture alone—I am just trying to “explain the reasons for our beliefs.”
I would say that, this one incident notwithstanding, Christ would have honored His mother in a special way, because He would follow the commandments in an exemplary fashion, and one of those commandments is to honor one’s father and mother.
And no, the Church does not teach that Mary was taken up in a fiery chariot; nor do we define with an anathema every single jot and tittle of information. In fact, we formally define only what is in contention, which is why the timing of our definitions seems to confuse Protestants and non-Catholic Christians.
HMMMmmm...
Is mindreading CHRIST allowed on FR??
He was not a child any more when He began his ministry.
While He would no doubt have loved her and respected her, I don’t see that a grown man is obligated to obey her as He did when He was a child and under His parents authority.
Just for how long is a person obligated to obey their parents?
