[Arthur McGowan]

Proclaiming that Mary has died is hardly idiotic if people are spreading the claim that she didn’t.

In fact, YOU devote a good deal of effort to proclaiming that Mary is dead.

But there is no evidence that, until the 16th century, there was any opposition to the belief that Mary either did not die at all, or was assumed into heaven body and soul after death.

Once again, we’re back to that central mystery of Protestantism: How did it happen that a whole catalogue of monstrous heresies and idolatries were introduced into Christianity in the 3rd and 4th centuries, and virtually nobody noticed until the 16th century?

Here we are 5 centuries later after when you claim Christians began noticing and the RCC still clings to its traditions/unscriptural doctrines. How many more centuries must pass until the Catholic church takes note?

It's not that nobody noticed.

People did notice and the RCC exterminated them for exposing it.

By the Catholic Church eliminating anyone who opposed them and burning any books that disagreed with them. You can find the evidence in the declarations and the decrees by the popes.

You need to expand your search of church history...Or if you have, quit deceiving people with your phoney Catholic history...
