The Assumption of the Blessed Mary was defined by Pope Pius XII 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."
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.

This might not be the answer you are looking for Mary is the "Lady" Answer 2The Catholics are taught that Mary the mother of Jesus Christ was assumed to heaven. So the "Lady of Assumption" refers to Mary in Catholicism. But the Bible does not mention any woman being assumed to heaven. Nor does the Bible tell us that Mary was assumed to heaven. Thus in reality there is no "Lady of assumptio
Traditional Catholic belief was that when Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus died her body was physically taken into heaven. Transported with her body and soul united, so Our Lady of Assumption takes its name from this event.

Roman Catholic AnswerNowhere, Mary did not "ascend" into heaven, she was assumed. Ascension is what Our Blessed Lord did, under His own power. Our Blessed Lady is NOT divine, but a created human being. Her assumption is not in the Bible, the Church does not rely on the Scriptures for belief in Mary's Assumption. The doctrine is rather part of the Oral Tradition, handed down over the centuries (Note: the Bible itself is from the Oral Tradition as well!) It was solemnly defined by Pope Pius XII in 1950.
