The need to have no relics of Mary to *prove* her *assumption* is plenty enough reason to hide them.
if there were relics of Mary, it would blow the whole assumption of Mary schtick to pieces.
As long as the church wants to perpetuate that myth, then no relics will ever be found.
Thus, in a Catholic's eyes, making that *proof* that Mary was assumed.
It's not merely circular logic, it's a black hole of logic from which there is no hope of reason ever escaping.
But why didn’t anyone speak up in defense of the “truth” that Mary died and was buried?
Not one of the apostles, not one of the Apostolic Fathers or the next generation or the next or the next.
None of them attacked this FRAUD of the Assumption. Nobody.
Your theory is, then, that all of the apostles, and Paul, and the entire next generation, and the next, and the next, were fraudsters.
The entire Christian church was fraudsters.
And yet you take the Scriptures that these fraudsters wrote and assembled seriously?
