You set up the question to ensure failure. You don't care where the Catholic (Assumption) and Orthodox (Dormition) beliefs come from.

1. I complimented a poster on demonstrating in every century protestant beliefs in the writings of the fathers

2. I said Catholics couldn't do that with half of what they practice and teach.

3. You posted a picture of a book and said they could.

4. I asked you then to start with the Assumption of Mary and demonstrate it in all 6 centuries in the writings of the Fathers

5. You posted just one quote from the 6th century and said it was easy.

6. I pointed out you missed 5 earlier centuries. NOW, you want to go back to the beginning and whine about it :-) You were unable to complete what you claimed.

I will take that as a clear admission that the Assumption of Mary was never taught in the first century.

It wasn't ever taught by an apostle.

Nor was half the stuff catholics teach or practice.

You might as well take it as seriously as some random post on the Internet claiming that George Washington ascended directly to Heaven on a horse made of cherries and wooden teeth.

Except it’s only been two centuries since Washington, not five.
