The doctrine of the Assumption was one that developed over time. It was not something new but rather the logical result of what was already known (Mary’s Immaculate Conception) It was based on her being immaculate, but not at her conception. The doctirne/dogma of Immaculate Conception came much later and remained unkown/unacceptable in the East.

**and remained unkown/unacceptable in the East.**
Is that still true? If so, why?

It is my understanding that the doctrine remains unacceptable in the Orthodox Church because of the conflicting views Eastern and Western Christianity have about Original Sin. Is that right?
