So with all that why didn’t they make sure to get what the Apostles wrote about the bodily assumption of Mary in there? You would think with that being such an important part of Catholic belief the would have made sure to include what the Apostles wrote about that. I mean, surely the Apostles wrote about such and important event right? Especially John who took her in. Maybe you could find which one of the Apostles wrote about that?

Actually, the scriptural document detailing the Assumption, De Obitu S. Dominae, was declared apocryphal by the canonists. Doubtless that was not for the Assumption, but for some other proposition considered erroneous. Records show that the Assumption remained a reputable belief.
