All good Catholics learn what has been handed down to us from the Apostles. It is the stiff necked and the proud referenced by St. Stephen in Acts & from Moses that refuse the Word of God and rely on the snippets of the words of men.

Which Apostle(s) handed down the story of the Assumption Of Mary?

Legend
"It is said"
etc.

Just doesn't cut it. Actual, proveable documentation from an eyewitness or, best yet, from the Apostle.

We do not have the proofs today from the Apostle John; the earliest account that I have been able to find is from Gregory of Tours.

Agreed. Yet we are speaking of faith. If we found a letter from John that was proven (!) to be accurate and correct, would you then adopt the Catholic Faith?
