Usually, the Church proclaims a dogma in reaction to a spreading heresy. But the dogmas of the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption were preemptively declared to prepare for future heresies.
August 15 is the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, a dogma defined by Pope Pius XII in 1950 proclaiming that Mary, having completed the course of her life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory. It “piggybacks” on the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, proclaimed by Pope Pius IX in 1854, which proclaimed that Mary was conceived without the stain of original sin. Among other things, these dogmas consecrate the “bookends” of man’s bodily existence on earth. That should give us pause.Related posts
