What is gratuitously asserted may be gratuitously denied.

Of course it may, by anyone who truly doesn't want to know what is true. Very glibly denied.

It’s getting close to supper time.

I’d better do some work around here!

If Mary died and was buried, where is her tomb? Where is the corpse?

We have the tomb and the bones of St. Paul and St. Peter. In the columns of the baldacchino in St. Peter’s are the bones of about 15,000 Roman martyrs. The early Christians treasured and preserved the tombs and relics of saints.

Not only are there no tomb and no relics of Mary, there is no evidence that there ever were. And there is no evidence that anyone ever CLAIMED to have them.

The total absence of even a FALSE claim is evidence that EVERYONE—even potential fraudsters—knew that such a claim would be believed by NO ONE.

The only reason that NO ONE would believe such a claim is proof that EVERYONE in the early Christian community believed that no one COULD have such relics.

What is your explanation for the fact that NO ONE in history ever claimed—even falsely—to have the body of Mary or any part of it?
