“Far from undermining the role of Mary, Jesus reveals the true greatness of her divine maternity. After all, she was not merely his natural mother through generation, but she became the Mother of God precisely by embracing the Father’s will (Lk 1:38, 43). Her relationship to Jesus—physical and spiritual—is thus magnified by Jesus’ statement.”

Scott Hahn.

So Jesus reveals the true greatness of Mary???? Shouldn't that be the other way around? More false teaching from Rome.

However, the Word records this.

47Someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You." 48But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?" Matthew 12:47-48

We also have this from John 3:30

"He must increase, but I must decrease."

Perhaps if catholics studied the Word they would have a clearer picture of the proper relationship we're to have with Christ.....and not Mary.

We do study the word. That’s one of those gratuitous slams that gets you guys in trouble so just back off.
