"The only objection we Orthodox have to the dogmatization of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is that it failed to condemn the heretical opinion that she did not undergo death before her assumption body and soul into heaven."

Why should that idea be "heretical"??? The Bible specifically records instances in which prophets were "taken up" without experiencing death. The RC position is simply "we don't know" if death was part of the Assumption or not.

Yes it does Enoch and Elijah but it records the event, it does not record anyone else, with the exception of Christ after His Crucifixion, so that the Holy Spirit would come.
