All Catholics need to do is show from an infallible source that the apostles taught the assumption of Mary.

When we do show you things like "So faith by itself, if it has not works, is dead." (Jas 2:17), you persist in believing in faith only salvation. Jesus extols the virtue of perpetual virginity and Paul wishes that others could be like him in that regard. But Protestants insist on believing it is not so. When shown things like Jesus renaming Simon to Peter, like God renaming Avram to Abraham or Jacob to Israel, you reject any specialness of Peter. So why should we believe that you will believe the Assumption if we find a passage that supports it.

Faith by itself without works is dead. When one is saved by faith the indwelling of the Holy Spirit will produce works. The works part is the Holy Spirit working through us. It remains that it was the faith that saved.

Jesus and Paul indeed extolled the virtue of clelebacy. They did not however require it. Paul, in fact, gave instructions that leadership need first prove fit by having successfully raised a family.

God indeed renaimed each of those men. Jesus also said that none of them was the leader of the others. In fact the Catholic Church itself admits that it was Jesus being the son of God upon which the church is built.

Now, about the apostles teaching the assumption of Mary.
