“There’s not a mention of Mary anywhere in Scripture after the beginning of Acts.
The Bible is totally silent on what happened to her.”
Are you saying that the absence of evidence of Mary after Acts - is evidence of her absence?
Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam
No, that's Catholic thinking.
Scripture is silent on her fate.
So, please, be the first Catholic on this thread to address the topic of the thread.
Some of your early popes said the assumption of Mary was heresy.
Now others say it's OK.
Who is right?
And how did this change from the church that (supposedly) has not changed since its inception?
