Why was the teaching of the Assumption declared to be a heresy around 500 AD Who declared the Assumption of Mary to be a heresy around 500 AD? And what is your evidence for this claim?

Transitus Beatae Mariae was condemned
by the early Church as heresy. In 495 Pope Gelasius issued a decree entitled Decretum de Libris Canonicis Ecclesiastics et Apocryphis which included anyone who taught the Assumption to be called a heretic.
Mary's Assumption was not official Church dogma until 1950. Why did it take over 1900 years for the "infallibility" to settle in? And why did it become dogma based on writings not believed by Church Fathers that lived closer to the actual events?
