The fact is that Mary is no where mentioned after the ascension.
Of course he is wrong. Again.

In Acts 1:26 (clearly AFTER the Holy Ascension of Our Lord), especially v. 14, Mary is the only one to be mentioned by name other than the eleven apostles, who abode in the upper room, when they returned from mount Olivet. She is also mentioned asthe "elect lady" in 2 John 1:1. And then she is again portrayed as the heavenly woman of Revelation.

Wow! Contained in the story of the ascension is Mary along with 120 people and a whole day after Jesus actually left this earth. You got me on that one.

Well you are right...Mary and her brood of children...

2Jn 1:1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;

And apparently she moved out of John's house and into her own...

2Jn 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

You pesky Catholics...You don't let a little bible get in the way of your religious fantasies...You just ignore it...
