"In all due respect, where does one go for Scriptural support regarding this matter?"

Fair question. My view is that if Jesus was taken up to heaven bodily [scripture] so was the mother's body that He was once part of. Mary was blessed among all women [scripture]. Just follows.

Thx for your response. I am not a Catholic but I am a faithful Christian and I always hate the fights over Mary.

If we love Jesus with all our hearts, of course we his mother, Mary. I personally don't care how she went to heaven, because there is no doubt in my mind she is there.

But I always go back to what Saint Paul said in 1 Corinthians, chapter 2, verses 1:2...

"1": And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. "

2": For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

I considered becoming a Catholic once but it was these darn fights that kept me away. So I just stay with the simple, more peaceful stuff.

I would bet on one thing however, neither Jesus nor Mary would appreciate the family squabbles that separate the faithful.
