(Dr. Eckleburg) "Even your own church didn't believe in Mary's supposed assumption for over 18 centuries."
Then please explain this artwork.
Beautiful artwork!
It means some believed in the Assumption though the belief wasn't required until 1950.
In recent history many Catholics, including Popes, believe Mary is "Co-redemptrix" and the like. It is not (yet) Catholic Teaching.
Would you be accurate in saying the Church believes Mary is "Co-Redemptrix"?

I was merely trying to demonstrate the fallacy of the notion that the Assumption was “invented” in 1950 by showing that it was familiar to the Church for centuries.
