Please show where John "taught" that the sign in heave was Mary. I know that is what your Church teaches but I don't recall ever seeing that John taught that.
>>The teachings of Protestant charlatans from Luther on are indeed accursed.<<
Ok, so you think the "Protestant charlatans" as you call them are accursed. Since I'm don't align with Protestants and agree that many of them are also teaching "another gospel" that's not the subject we are talking about. We are talking about ANYONE who teaches "another gospel". Paul said "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse!" Now, if you choose to defend the Catholic Church I'm asking you to show where the apostles taught the assumption of Mary.
The woman is identified as the mother of "a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne" (Rev 12:5) Later, that son is also named; his name is Christ (Rev. 12:10,17).
