>>This belief was ancient, dating back to the apostles themselves.<<

This entire thread I have been asking Catholics to show infallible evidence that the apostles taught the assumption of Mary. Not one time has anyone done that. Then you come and make a statement like that and expect people to blindly accept it? By the admition of the Catholic Church a dogma required to be believed to attain salvation is based on conjecture and supposition. You give this nice "feel good" story that has no base in fact. They call that fiction. I for one will not trust my eternal future to fiction.

No, this pagan attachment to Semiramis by proxy in the name of “Mary” dates back over 4000 years, and falsely accusing the apostles of this sin does you no honor.
