Hey! That’s the rationale for the belief in the assumption of Mary! Finally!

That belief, in one form or another, extended to Mary, just as it did for Moses, Elijah and Enoch. And it was believed from the earliest Church history. The Church didn't realize that the progeny of Martin Luther required that Scripture be the only source of belief. It foolishly thought that Church teachings (as Paul so often taught) were what the people of the Faith should believe. In their entirety.
