‘Pope
Francis’ Claims Mary Was ‘Assumed Into Heaven Body and Soul’ on Feast of
Assumption
By Bible Study
Jorge
Bergoglio, also known as “Pope Francis,” asked for Mary to
intercede for the oppressed on Monday and claimed to the
thousands gathered to observe what is known as the Roman Catholic “Feast of the
Assumption” that she had been “assumed into Heaven body and soul.”
“To the Queen of Peace, who we contemplate
today in heavenly glory, I wish to entrust once again the anxieties and
sufferings of the people who, in many parts of the world, are innocent victims
of persistent conflict,” he said.
The Feast of the Assumption marks the Roman
Catholic belief that Mary ascended into Heaven and did not suffer a
physical death, although as the outlet American Catholic notes, “Scripture does
not give an account of Mary’s assumption into heaven.”

The
dogma was made an official Catholic doctrine by Pius XII, who wrote in 1950,
“We pronounce, declare and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma that the
immaculate mother of God, the ever virgin Mary, having completed the course of
her earthly life, was assumed body and soul to heavenly glory.”
Bergoglio echoed this belief on Monday as
he read what is known as the Magnificat and led those gathered in a recitation
of the Angelus Domini.
Pope Francis: Mary is the ‘mother
of forgiveness’
“She was the first to believe in the Son of
God and is the first to have been assumed into Heaven body and soul,” he said.
Bergoglio
stated that Mary was the first to have held the Son of God in her arms “and is
the first to have been welcomed by his arms to be introduced into the eternal
kingdom of the Father.”
“Mary, a humble and simple girl from a
remote village in the outskirts of the empire, because she welcomed and lived
the gospel, was permitted by God to stand next to the throne of the Son for all
eternity,” Bergoglio stated. Christian News

The Catholic Church asserts the following
to all its laity:
“To foster the sanctification of the people of God, the Church commends to the special and filial reverence of the Christian faithful the Blessed Mary ever Virgin, Mother of God, whom Christ established as the mother of all people, and promotes the true and authentic veneration of the other saints whose example instructs the Christian faithful and whose intercession sustains them.”
