Where did the Catholic doctrine of the Assumption of Mary come from?

Catholics generally regard this as proof of the Assumption of Mary, as Pope Pius is almost universally assumed by Catholics to have defined it infallibly. However, Bishop Geoffrey Robinson (Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church) believes that the pope's teaching on this subject was not infallible because a clause in Pastor Aeternalis, which defined papal infallibility in 1870, means that the pope can not infallibly define a new doctrine (chapter 4):
"6. For the Holy Spirit was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by his assistance, they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles."
As Pope Pius himself stated, he was pronouncing a new doctrine from divine revelation, not expounding a matter transmitted by the apostles. Bishop Robinson does not say the Assumption of Mary is necessarily untrue, merely that Pope Pius XII did not infallibly define it.
Catholic Answer:
If one understands scripture, the Assumption of Mary can be found there.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22
"For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."
However, Mary was exempted from death and corruption because of her Immaculate Conception. She was born without the stain of Original Sin.
Then in Saint Luke's Gospel the Angel Gabriel in addressing Mary at the Annunciation:
"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,"
Had Mary carried the stain of Original Sin, she could not have been described as 'full of grace.'

A warranted assumption is an assumption that is supported by evidence or justification, making it reasonable or valid to accept as true for the purpose of an argument or discussion. It is based on logical reasoning or empirical observations.
Why do Protestant churches preach Catholic doctrine?
Roman Catholic AnswerI can only hazard a guess, as I do not know of this practice. I should think that, since all Catholic doctrine is truth, and it is grounded in Sacred Scripture, that any sincere person, with an open mind would come to know the truth when studying Sacred Scripture, and subseqently preach it as well. There have been numerous incidents of rather famous protestant preachers and ministers who, upon study and prayer, have left their denominations and converted to the Church.
Who witnessed the ascension of Mary to heaven?
The Catholic Church teaches as dogma that the Virgin Mary "having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory."[1] This doctrine was dogmatically defined by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950, in his Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus by exercising papal infallibility. We have no eye witness accounts to the event, all that has come down to us is that shortly after her dormition her tomb was found empty.
Why has Catholic doctrine become irrelevant to most Catholics around the world?
It is likely that many devout Catholics would disagree with such a general and sweeping statement.Certainly some of the doctrine and perceived wisdom of that church have changed.It does so to accommodate knew knowledge and new insights. That can only be for the good.A Catholic point of view:Doctrine never changes. However, when a new situation does come up the Church looks at how the existing doctrines apply to the new situation. Examples would be in vitro fertilization, human cloning, etc.Unfortunately, with the advent of Vatican II, too many of the clergy around the world decided to stop teaching Catholic doctrine from the pulpit or in Catholic Schools so as to 'Protestantize' the Church. Therefore, it isn't so much that many Catholics consider doctrine as irrelevant, they don't know what the doctrine is unless they have taken it upon themselves to search for an answer. Most Catholics learn more about Catholic doctrine from the evening news than from the pulpit. Therefore, many Catholics have lost their identity for the sake of ecumenism and political correctness. This is truly a disgraceful situation.
What is warranted assumptions?
A warranted assumption is an assumption that has evidence and reasonable interpretation of this evidence to support it. But, it's still an assumption and should only be used as a guide in finding the real facts. A warranted assumption should not be acted on if any harm will come of it.

What is the difference between a warranted and an unwarranted assumption?
There is at least some reasonable and verifiable evidence behind a warranted assumption. I think that even with evidence, the consequences of an assumption have to be considered. Evidence is not necessarily proof. If harm will come to a person because of an assumption, then I would consider the assumption unwarranted. You can't go off hurting people because you think you're clever. That kind of behavior will come back to bite you.
