If the Blessed Virgin had asked Christ to come down from the Cross, and make atonement, say, by shedding a single drop of His infinitely precious blood, would or would not Christ, as a perfect observer of the Law, have been obliged in filial piety to do so?

Funny in Matt 12:46-50, Jesus didn't seem to mind disobeying His earthly mother. Why would it change at the cross? In John 5, He broke the Sabbath law. So neither point would make Jesus obliged to come down from the cross.

Is it your contention that Jesus dishonoured his mother?
