Your denominations were started by men.

Lutero said:

Evading the ENTIRE point (and I think you know it).

I know that you are evading the entire point.

No, it was declared dogma by ONE denomination, not the "whole church."

The Catholic Church is the Church which Jesus made. Your denominations were started by men.

Yes, the year was 1950. Funny how it didn't know if it as a dogmatic fact until then.... or maybe did but hid this from the faithful, but whatever....

The Catholic Church merely confirmed that which Protestants were challenging.

Then give us the quotes from before 100 AD, quotes that state that upon her death or undeath, Mary was assumed - body and soul - into heaven upon her death (or undeath - let's see what these quotes say on that). You won't do it. We all know why.

Because Scripture says it.
Revelation 12:1

King James Version (KJV)
12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

Things said by the RCC are just..... well, if it's said - that's ALL that matters. True? Relevant? No, the RCC said it.

The Catholic Church was put in this world to teach the Wisdom of God. The fact that you consider Her teachings irrelevant is because you deny the Word of God:
Ephesians 3:10

King James Version (KJV)
¹⁰ To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

This teaching has NEVER been affirmed by ANY ecumenical council and we all know that. It was declared dogma in 1950 by ONE - just one - denomination.

The one representing the Church that Jesus Christ established. That is enough.

THAT'S the point. The whole point...

Absolutely! Christ gave the Church His Authority to command His Disciples:
Matthew 28:19-20

King James Version (KJV)
¹⁹ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

If any deny His Commands as passed down by the Catholic Church, they condemn themselves.

Give a good Catholic long enough and his Catholicism comes out.

Amen!

Thanks for the confirmation of all the Protestants have been saying here.

The Protestants have been spreading man made traditions because they can't stomach the commands of Jesus Christ. Their coming was prophecied long ago in Scripture:
2 Timothy 4:3

King James Version (KJV)
³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Of course, it matters NOT to Catholics that it has nothing to do with anything we're discussing, because as you pointed out, the issue is the "AUTHORITY" (unmitigated absolute power) that the RCC aims at others. It's not about truth. It's not about support. It's not even about Tradition. It's about POWER. DOCILIC SUBMISSION as unto God.

What does Scripture say?

Hebrews 5:9

King James Version (KJV)
⁹ And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Hebrews 13:17

King James Version (KJV)
¹⁷ Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Matthew 18:17

King James Version (KJV)
¹⁷ And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

Show me where Scripture gives you license to disobey the Church.

Have you ever studied the "cults?" Just curious.

Yeah. You belong to one of them. Cults twist the Word of God to their own destruction:
2 Peter 3:16

King James Version (KJV)
¹⁶ As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

The Protestant Reformation is one long series of cults. 

Sincerely,

De Maria
