So you are saying tradition is not based on the early church fathers, which about 90% of the catholics on this blog claim that is tradition, and hence justification for Mary, indulgences, etc?
What I was calling “Sacred Tradition” is of course transmitted to us through the early Fathers. The subject matter was primarily the spiritual meaning of the Old Testament.
The Church’s dogmas about Mary are rooted in both the Old and the New Testaments.
If Mary was not assumed, body and soul, into heaven, why is there no record of a single, solitary relic of her body? Not even a single, solitary false claim of such a relic? Christians were already treasuring relics of other holy people at that time—even of John the Baptist.
