Something doesn’t have to be explicitly in scripture to be true, nor does something not appearing explicitly in scripture mean it was “generated” by the Church. Also, the Assumption is seen by orthodox Christians in Revelation 12.

A belief so central to Catholics wasn’t taught by the Apostles or even mentioned in scripture? Give me a break. We can look to pagan beliefs to find the origin however.

LOL The woman in Revelation 12 is Israel. In no way does it represent Mary.
