OLD REGGIE: For how many centuries prior to 1950 (was the assumption of Mary commemorated liturgically?)
PYRO 74: Since at least the time of the Council of Ephesus, which took place in the 5th century.
Where's the proof of that?
There were three Councils of Ephesus, and only the first one mentioned Mary, and that only peripherally in relation to Nestorianism.
NOTHING about Mary being sinless or assumed bodily into heaven.
Thanks for your research. It seems that there is a highly specialized Catholic Dictionary with it's own understanding of "always believed".

Quite so, OLD REGGIE.
Though . . . given that Proddys
do NOT have such a slippery dictionary . . . perhaps we should determine what the
valid and durable name of that
Vatican ‘dictionary’ is.
I’ve been given to understand that the proper term is
The Vatican Daffynitionary.
If you have a better authority on it, please let me know.
