If it all was just a matter of personal choice whether to believe the teaching or not, it wouldn't be an issue and there probably wouldn't be a thread on it - though I think it is an interesting point that two prior popes called heretical the ONLY writing that could have been a historical source for the belief. Without that, there IS nothing to base the dogma on other than wishful thinking of some people centuries afterward. Bears repeating.......

1950!....that’s a long-long-long time to decide that the apostles, and the Holy Spirit forgot to mention something important about mary.

Indeed. Did you see the posts which admitted the apocryphal writings WERE the source of the doctrine? And then defended such by claiming some good doctrine can come from a condemned text? Unbelievable! Didn’t the church fathers argue and toil against heresies and then demand such texts be destroyed? Yet we have those who claim these fathers as doctors and saints but disregard their warnings of false doctrines.
Just thought I would point out this fallacious approach.
