The fact that the Nestorian interpretation of Scripture denies this, does not mean that the Church made it up.If your church didn't make it up, where'd it come from??? It's certainly not in the scripture...

The Assumption of the Blessed Mother comes from sacred tradition, it was witnessed by the Apostles and it is also alluded to in Scripture. The anti-Catholic statement that it was "made up" in the 20th century requires the complete denial of historical facts that show that it has been celebrated since the 4th century.
