At the wedding at Cana some ECFs contend Mary was doing the very thing in your post: asking for something not in accordance with His will. Several attribute this haste as a sin on her part.

You're suggesting that Mary is even more influential that some RC's contend.

If this was "not in accordance to His will," yet Jesus did it anyway because Mary asked, what does that say about her influence?

I always thought that Mary had no idea about Jesus' powers at this point. She just asked if He could help. And He did help, way more than anyone expected, with this, His first miracle.

Because?

We now have access to the inner workings of Jesus' mindset?

You miss the point. Some ECFs note this event shows Mary sinned.

Mary asked Jesus nothing.

Read the account. She made two statements and there is NO record of her making a request of Him.

Why do Catholics fabricate accounts of events regarding Mary that cannot be supported by Scripture?
