The doctrine of Mary’s Assumption is firmly rooted in sacred Scripture and Tradition, and this constant teaching was infallibly defined as a dogma of the Catholic faith by Pope Pius XII in 1950.

But is to be found, even alluded to, NOWHERE in the New Testament. It is RCC fiction and an unfounded hope in an unprovable myth...until Christ appears again and sets matters straight.

I find the "Assumption" belief by Catholics to be a bit of a stretch to say the least. Someone on FR recently referred to me as a "heretic" because I am a Protestant. He went on to say that being a heretic wasn't necessarily a bad thing however. I know there are a lot of R.C.'s on FR and they are passionate about their religion. But many others here are also passionate about their religion. We just don't talk about it so much.

Did you read and understand the whole article?

Or just pontificating your own personal opinion? Why do you show hatred in your heart fo Catholic Church teachings? You certainly have the right to your own biased opinion but again you offer no rebuttal to the facts presented.

This is stupid as it is foolish. This is not about the Bible. The Bible did not fall from the skies. It was assembled by the early Church fathers, those theologians who spent decades in sorting out what books should be included and excluded. The New Testament itself makes clear that the Bible is not the sole text of the Life of Christ. The assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was believed from early times. She is in many way a co-redemptrix. She was the tabernacle of the Incarnation, her early body was not for the worms.
