That's funny. The "assumption of Mary" didn't become official Catholic dogma until 1950.
“The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory” (Munificentissimus Deus #44). With these words, Pope Pius XII on Nov. 1, 1950 declared the Assumption of Mary to be Catholic dogma. Even though this official declaration was made within the memory of many living Catholics, the belief in Mary’s assumption was professed as early as the sixth century.
There is no mention of Mary’s assumption within the Scriptures. But devotional piety, drawing upon the stories of Jesus, created descriptions of the event. In one account, Mary was assumed into heaven before the gathered apostles. But Thomas was not present and did not believe what the other apostles told him (just as he failed to believe when the risen Christ first appeared to the apostles). So Mary dropped her girdle down from heaven. Thomas saw it and believed. By presenting Mary’s assumption as a mirroring of Jesus’ resurrection, this story helps us understand today’s feast. When Scripture and tradition are taken together, they suggest that what happened to Jesus will happen to us, but to Mary first.
This is a Catholic resource admitting the Roman Catholic Church bases its doctrine on extra-Biblical teachings AKA traditions, which is the classic definition of a cult. They admit their cult teachings regarding this dogmatic statement about the assumption of Mary originated in the 6th century, and not with Yashua and his apostles.
Galatians 1:8
8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
I was born and raised Catholic, and attended Catholic school. I was an altar boy and am extremely thankful my parish priest was only banging the parishioners' wives.
Something being officially taught does not mean it hadn't been taught before. The Church uses its official teaching authority to clarify doctrine that is held but is coming into dispute because of the times. If a doctrine does not come into dispute, then there is no reason to clarify it.
Also, 2 Thessalonians 2:15 says, "Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle."
Not every truth is taught explicitly in the Bible. Even if it was, there is still the need for an interpreter. Otherwise, you get everyone starting their own congregation because they think they know how to interpret it correctly and everyone else was wrong for 2000 years. This is why Christ instituted the papacy and sent the Holy Spirit to preserve the Church.
The Catholic Church and her teachings and lineage can be traced to Christ, the Apostles, and early Christians.

I'll pray for your reversion.

Keep worshipping Isis by a different name, and make sure to say it's veneration and not worship, but don't pray for my reversion.

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods
