According to you its not just Mary’s assumption but the Eucharist etc. So go join the ranks of Rev. Moon, David Koresh, Jim Jones, Billy Graham and every other variety of mushroom sects that either have withered and died or are withering away. Strange isn’t it that the early Church Fathers who through scholarly research and the received oral tradition sorted out the various books, rejected some and included others, that we call the Bible is now denied the authority to use these very same means of theological inquiry to proclaim the Assumption.

And of course all the material in support of the Assumption dating back to the practices of the surviving Apostles are now brushed aside by simplistic interpretations that appeal to corner street Foursquare Church “theologians”

Then if they proclaim ANYTHING in the future; you'll just go along with it.

I see where you are coming from; for you will be SURE that it's going to be coming from GOD; as your leaders would NEVER do ANYTHING that was incorrect...

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
