A:Pope Pius XII defined the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in 1950, in Munificentissimus Deus : "By the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, 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 into heavenly glory." Answer

After consulting with all bishops a nearly unanimous approval was obtained and the belief was finally defined in 1950 and made an article of faith. For more information, see the link from the Vatican below.
