We clean house on Friday after work and then go out for dinner; it's our "ancient theological tradition". I doubt that there is anything "theological" about Mary being taken away, bones and all, to heaven.

"I doubt that there is anything "theological" about Mary being taken away, bones and all, to heaven."

Whether there is or not, my Bible tells me not to be a "stumbling block" to other Christians. Since I don't believe it matters to our salvation one way or the other whether one believes Mary's body ascended to Heaven, it's no big deal to me. Who am I to judge another's servant? My best friend is a 7th Day Adventist. While 7th dayers are strictly biblical in their faith they believe in keeping the Old Testament dietary habits and the Saturday Sabbath. Although I believe Jesus' new covenant releases us from this part of the law, I don't argue with him over it. In fact, when we are together I try not to eat pork or shellfish so as not to be a stumbling block to him. He is devout child of Christ and it would be a sin for me to do anything which could interfere with that.

I doubt you know anything about the theology contained in Munificentissimus Deus.
