Read the article of this thread so you may see what you missed.

I did read the article

You posted this earlier on the thread:

I know of no other dogma...regarding the Assumption than the one declared by Pope Pius XII in 1950.

That is what this thread is about.

Title: THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY: Condemned as Heretical by 2 Popes in the 5th and 6th Centuries

So here is the dilemma:

Catholicism has more than one view on the assumption of Mary.

Which popes are wrong, or is it blaspheme to declare a pope's (or two popes) dogma wrong?

It can't be both ways.

I believe in the Assumption

Of course. All Catholics must. Just as before 1950 they could not, as per TWO Catholic popes.

I was wondering when Mary became the center of the Catholic belief system, now I see it was 1950.

Although before that more than one pope declared that salvation could be received from Mary.

Besides the "fire of Mary's heart" converting souls.

Please provide the specific quote where the Popes denounced the belief in the Assumption of Mary as heresy. Denouncing a book or group as heretical is insufficient as the Arians are heretical, but they believe that Christ was crucified.

I did post a link, but you didn’t want to click into it. That’s the only information I saw online. About the book on the Assumption! If you were interested in an answer (instead of working to discredit the Church, and I’m not mind-reading, it’s obvious), I’d ask my brother-in-law, an orthodox (saintly) priest, but I’m not going to bother him in this regard. He’d only suggest you go to adoration.
