I LOVE MARY.
(Mary the Mother of Jesus)
Though scripture does not tell us much about her, what it does tell us is pure and simple and what we can infer furthers that appearance. As I've matured in thought and faith, believing something solely because 'it's tradition' is no longer enough for me. Consequently, many questions have arisen in my mind about the mother of (arguably) the most influential figure in all of human history.
how do we know she was conceived without sin?
how do we know she died (okay, well, as a Catholic I believe she didn't die, she was assumed into heaven, but you know what I mean..."got to the end of her earthly life")sinless?
how can we call her the 'virgin' mary, the Bible isn't clear about her sexual history after Jesus' birth?
how do we know Mary was assumed into Heaven?
check out this article (click the work 'article') that explains where the Catholic belief in the assumption of Mary finds its roots.
