“Three days later, at the third hour, “Suddenly the Lord Jesus Christ came with a great multitude of angels, and a great light came down upon the place, and the angels were singing hymns and praising the Lord. Then the Savior spoke, saying: ‘Come, most precious pearl, enter into the treasury of eternal life.”

Say what! Catholics believe THIS? Incredible I tell you. And it is we who believe Sola Scriptura, who don’t go around smooching the Koran, who are the heretics? Interesting stuff on this thread.

Kind of mind boggling, isn’t it?

Who knows, it is 'Holy Tradition', but to be fair, it is only referenced as 'tradition'. Maybe the Holy stuff is more credible. The title of the thread:

What Happened to the Virgin Mary After Pentecost? [Catholic/Orthodox Caucus)

There is some doubt expressed in the comments, but nothing at the time associated with the Creeds or Catholic eschatology dogma. Like I said, with this sort of fairy tale, it becomes hard to hold Catholics as Christian. Moral yes, the rest, no better than Aesop fables uphold the Greeks. Still, Catholic propers have the Gospel readings, and the Word of God retains its power even in the darkest reaches of superstition and the realm of the devil.
