Where does the RCC do this?

Do you see any of them posting the Bible verses that say that Mary DID go to the tomb? They run away from the discussion, like Polycarp and Campion have now done TWICE EACH.

This is because the Mary who visited Christ's tomb at earliest possible time is described as "Mary the mother of JAMES AND JOSES".

Mar 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

Yeah, like you run away from the clear proof that James the Just was the son of Alphaeus, not Joseph.

Exactly, berned, exactly. NOT as "Mary, His mother" or "Mary, mother of the Lord" ... because she wasn't that person. She was the "sister" of "Mary, his mother" identified as "Mary, wife of Clopas" in John 19:25.

And, incidentally, your claim that Catholics believe that "[the Blessed Virgin] Mary 'dropped Jesus like a hot potato' when she saw he was dead" is, without any question, doubt, or equivocation, the dumbest thing you have ever posted here.

And that's saying a whole lot.
