http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P2C.HTM 966 "Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death."506

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians:

In giving birth you kept your virginity; in your Dormition you did not leave the world, O Mother of God, but were joined to the source of Life. You conceived the living God and, by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death.507

. . . she is our Mother in the order of grace

The Catholic church OFFICIALLY teaches that the prayers of Mary can deliver our souls from death. I find it telling indeed that not one Catholic has yet addressed this part of the CCC. They either agree with it or not.

If they agree with it, it's blasphemy as only God can save souls. If they don't agree with it, they find themselves at odds with the official teaching of the Roman Church and where does that leave them?

That's official church teaching. Catholics are obligated to believe it, are they not? Or is the CCC optional?

Sorry, your editorializing on what the Church believes is wrong, again.

I realize there may be those who have to keep building strawmen, but I don’t have to care.

enjoy.
