>>Rev 12 speaks of Mary in Heaven wearing a crown, fighting Satan, etc.<<

ROFLOL!! You keep repeating that false assumption as if it was teaching by the apostles. Paul said if you teach something that we didn't teach you should be considered accursed. First of all, the woman in Revelation 12 is NOT Mary as you have been shown many times. Second, the vision in Revelation was future as John clearly stated. The Catholic Church claims that the apostles, and even Jesus, were present at Mary's end and witnessed Jesus taking her to heaven. For one that would make an extra visit by Christ to earth which He said would not happen. And if they were all there not one even mentioned such an important event for the Catholic Church. Preposterous!!

Mary's assumption is a completely made up fable by the Catholic Church. It's origin is in paganism.

Sure she is; she is identified as the mother of Christ. But Ealgeone did not ask what you might think of Rev 12. He asked where Catholics find something in the bible that makes the doctrine of Assumption scripturally compatible. I answered. What you think on the matter is just more Protestant garbage.
