-— Well, when you believe (contrary to the scriptures) that a man, the pope, can add to the word of God-—
Can you point that out in the Catechism, or a Church Council?

Well of course not, seeing as "the word of God" is only what Rome says it is, and thus it can declare such a event as Mary being bodily assumed into Heaven, and crowned as its queen, as being the Word of God, although we nowhere see this event being recorded about her, or prophesied. And which is contrary to what Scripture states, as the elect are only said to be crowned at the Lord's return. (2Tim. 4:8; 1Pt. 5:4; Rv. 11:18)
How can an entity be wrong when it has presumed to infallibly declare she is and will be perpetually infallible whenever she speaks in accordance with her infallibly defined (scope and subject-based) formula, which renders her declaration that she is infallible, to be infallible, as well as all else she accordingly declares?
For as Keating stated in the light of there strictly being no proof for the Assumption from Scripture, "The mere fact that the Church teaches the doctrine of the Assumption as definitely true is a guarantee that it is true.” — Karl Keating, Catholicism and Fundamentalism (San Francisco: Ignatius, 1988), p. 275.
