Nope, I was just showing the incredible double standards of Catholics. They claim the Apostles were there but never wrote about such a monumental event.
"They?" You mean Greek Father St. John of Damascus, champion of the Assumption? Why should anyone accept your speculation over his testimony?
I went online and read that whole De Obitu S. Dominae and if everything that this treatise claims happened actually DID happen, it would be impossible for the Apostles to omit writing about it. EVERY Apostle, it says was miraculously spirited away from where ever in the world they were to the house where Mary was living before she died. EVEN a few apostles who had already died, were raised from their graves, it said, just so they could be present for this event. The story also speaks of nearby villagers coming to the house and just by touching the outside walls were healed of every illness. There were even more outrageous claims made. No, if such thing really DID happen, we would not have to depend on a few scraps of questionable origins written CENTURIES after it supposedly happened. We still have writings from before Jesus came, there is no logical reason why writings about this could not have been also preserved. Not only that, but St. John was "in charge" of taking care of her, right? Why would he have "forgotten" or omitted such amazing things from his epistles?
As I said before, people can believe whatever they want, but to have an organization that claims to be THE Church Jesus established and that to be a Christian, we MUST faithfully obey what the leaders deem of the faith/de fide, then they sure should have more reliable and solid proof for what they proclaim than just wishful thinking or myths.
