"There can be no doubt that the Virgin Mary is in heaven. How it happened we do not know. And since the Holy Spirit has told us nothing about it, we can make of it no article of faith . . . It is enough to know that she lives in Christ. . . . The veneration of Mary is inscribed in the very depths of the human heart." Martin Luther, 1 September 1522

"Indeed, no Christian doubts that the most worthy Mother of the Lord lives with her beloved Son in heavenly joy." Martin Butzer 1545

"Because of this, we believe that the pure immaculate chamber of the God-bearer, the Virgin Mary, is a temple of the Holy Spirit, that is her holy body, borne by angels into heaven." Heinrich Bullinger 1590
