>> absolutely, Sacred Tradition must be in accord with Sacred Scriptures and Sacred Scriptures had to be in accord with Sacred Tradition in order for the Church to include the book in the canon.<<

So would you point out for me where to find the ascension of Mary in scripture?

Oh, and while you’re at it could you clarify the following differences as well?

(1) The Bible teaches that the office of bishop and presbyter are the same office (Titus 1:5-7), but tradition says they are different offices.

(2) The Bible teaches that all have sinned except Jesus (Romans 3:10-12, Hebrews 4:15), but tradition says that Mary was sinless.

(3) The Bible teaches that Christ offered His sacrifice once for all (Hebrews 7:27, 9:28, 10:10), but tradition says that the priest sacrifices Christ on the altar at mass.

(4) The Bible says that we are not to bow down to statues (Exodus 20:4, 5), but tradition says that we should bow down to statues.

(5) The Bible says that all Christians are saints and priests (Ephesians 1:1; 1 Peter 2:9), but tradition says that saints and priests are special castes within the Christian community.

(6) The Bible says that Jesus is the only Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), but tradition says Mary is co-mediator with Christ.

(7) The Bible says that all Christians should know that they have eternal life (1 John 5:13), but tradition says that all Christians cannot and should not know that they have eternal life.

Surely you can point me to the scripture that contradicts other scripture.

first of all, Mary was assumed, Jesus asceneded. One is a created being, and Jesus is God. tell me where the Scriptures say Mary wasn’t assumed?
as far as your other 7 points, you are wrong on your claims of what “tradition” says. Learn the Catholic Faith first, then we can have a discussion. Your 7 points prove you listened to some anti-Catholic preacher, who himself doesn’t understand Catholic teaching.
