>>Being unwilling to submit to the authority of popes and councils, they did follow the Chalcedean tradition.<<
If the Popes and councils are authority and Iraneous was correct about only looking to the Scriptures for authority please find for me in Scripture the authority for believing in the ascension of Mary.
The problem in virtually every organized religion today is that they have strayed from, added to, or taken away from what is written in Scripture just as the Gnostics did.
The gnostics had little room for Mary, because they regarded all flesh as evil.
