All I am saying is the ascension of Mary isn’t in the bible, it’s a myth. This was made up due to the “Emaculate Conception” catholic doctrine which states that Mary was without sin, so they had to come up with the ascension because if she was without sin then she never would have died, the ascension is actually a relatively recent doctrine even.

Only Christ ascended into heaven.

Repeating this: Catholics believe that Mary was assumed into heaven. That means carried in some fashion. If you were only to read of the Early Church Fathers and the accounts of the apostles about how they were all miracuously transported from all over the world to her bedside as she died.......sigh.......it's on the Daily Readings thread.

Nonsense. The Tradition is Eastern Christian, has nothing to do with the Latin notion of the Immaculate Conception and has been a pious belief of virtually universal acceptance in The Church since at least the 5th century.
