Can you tell me the Assumption of Mary, the mother of god, at Vatican I?

Answer 1

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, the mother of God.
Fundamentalists are sometimes horrified when the Virgin Mary is referred to as the Mother of God. However, their reaction often rests upon a misapprehension of not only what this particular title of Mary signifies but also who Jesus was, and what their own theological forebears, the Protestant Reformers, had to say regarding this doctrine.

A woman is a man’s mother either if she carried him in her womb or if she was the woman contributing half of his genetic matter or both. Mary was the mother of Jesus in both of these senses; because she not only carried Jesus in her womb but also supplied all of the genetic matter for his human body, since it was through her—not Joseph—that Jesus "was descended from David according to the flesh" (Rom. 1:3).

Since Mary is Jesus’ mother, it must be concluded that she is also the Mother of God: If Mary is the mother of Jesus, and if Jesus is God, then Mary is the Mother of God. There is no way out of this logical syllogism, the valid form of which has been recognized by classical logicians since before the time of Christ.

Although Mary is the Mother of God, she is not his mother in the sense that she is older than God or the source of her Son’s divinity, for she is neither. Rather, we say that she is the Mother of God in the sense that she carried in her womb a divine person—Jesus Christ, God "in the flesh" (2 John 7, cf. John 1:14)—and in the sense that she contributed the genetic matter to the human form God took in Jesus Christ.

To avoid this conclusion, Fundamentalists often assert that Mary did not carry God in her womb, but only carried Christ’s human nature. This assertion reinvents a heresy from the fifth century known as Nestorianism, which runs aground on the fact that a mother does not merely carry the human nature of her child in her womb. Rather, she carries the person of her child. Women do not give birth to human natures; they give birth to persons. Mary thus carried and gave birth to the person of Jesus Christ, and the person she gave birth to was God.

The Nestorian claim that Mary did not give birth to the unified person of Jesus Christ attempts to separate Christ’s human nature from his divine nature, creating two separate and distinct persons—one divine and one human—united in a loose affiliation. It is therefore a Christological heresy, which even the Protestant Reformers recognized. Both Martin Luther and John Calvin insisted on Mary’s divine maternity. In fact, it even appears that Nestorius himself may not have believed the heresy named after him. Further, the church he founded has now signed a joint declaration on Christology with the Catholic Church and recognizes Mary’s divine maternity, just as other Christians do.

Since denying that Mary is God’s mother implies doubt about Jesus’ divinity, it is clear why Christians (until recent times) have been unanimous in proclaiming Mary as Mother of God


THE FACT OF THE ASSUMPTION

Regarding the day, year, and manner of Our Lady's death, nothing certain is known. The earliest known literary reference to the Assumption is found in the Greek work De Obitu S. Dominae. Catholic faith, however, has always derived our knowledge of the mystery from Apostolic Tradition. Epiphanius acknowledged that he knew nothing definite about it . The dates assigned for it vary between three and fifteen years after Christ's Ascension. Two cities claim to be the place of her departure: Jerusalem and Ephesus. Common consent favours Jerusalem, where her tomb is shown; but some argue in favour of Ephesus. The first six centuries did not know of the tomb of Mary at Jerusalem.

The belief in the corporeal assumption of Mary is founded on the apocryphal treatise De Obitu S. Dominae, bearing the name of St. John, which belongs however to the fourth or fifth century. It is also found in the book De Transitu Virginis, falsely ascribed to St. Melito of Sardis, and in a spurious letter attributed to St. Denis the Areopagite. If we consult genuine writings in the East, it is mentioned in the sermons of St. Andrew of Crete, St. John Damascene, St. Modestus of Jerusalem and others. In the West, St. Gregory of Tours mentions it first. The sermons of St. Jerome and St. Augustine for this feast, however, are spurious. St. John of Damascus thus formulates the tradition of the Church of Jerusalem:


St. Juvenal, Bishop of Jerusalem, at the Council of Chalcedon , made known to the Emperor Marcian and Pulcheria, who wished to possess the body of the Mother of God, that Mary died in the presence of all the Apostles, but that her tomb, when opened, upon the request of St. Thomas, was found empty; wherefrom the Apostles concluded that the body was taken up to heaven.
Today, the belief in the corporeal assumption of Mary is universal in the East and in the West; according to Benedict XIV , it is a probable opinion, which to deny were impious and blasphemous.


To pachequi -

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, the mother of God.

Answer 2

Only if you were Catholic. The doctrine of the Assumption of Mary is preserved through sacred tradition, not sacred scripture.

In a nutshell, Mary's body was taken to heaven after her earthly ministry was over. The Catholic church doesn't know whether or not she actually died first or if she was brought up like Enoch and Elijah were. But she did not go to heaven like Jesus did during the acension, i.e. by her own power.

That is dogma. But if you want evidence of this, note that everyone of the apostles and many of the disciples had their remains claimed by someone in order to give notoriety to their church, shrine, cathedral or whatever. Wars were fought over dead saints body parts. But Mary's remains were not claimed by anyone. If she was buried somewhere there would certainly be a shrine or something there today.

Answer 3

She replaced into assumed, by God, into heaven. sure, Catholics trust the Bible. besides the undeniable fact that the Bible got here "after" the Church. something doesn't must be written contained in the Bible to be authentic. The Bible itself does not say it holds all truth and that there's no truth outdoors it. Elijah, Enoch and Moses are all reported to were assumed into heaven, body and soul. So all of us recognize that God does that. that is been the practise of the Church that Mary replaced into without sin, sin is what corrupts the flesh. She replaced into "ever-virgin" -- there's no scripture that mentions Mary had different little ones. purely scriptures that communicate over with the brothers and sister of Jesus...which we received't assume potential little ones of Mary. Brothers and sisters can communicate over with any relation, not extremely siblings. The Church has taught from the starting up that Mary replaced into immaculately conceived, ever-virgin and assumed into heaven. those are sacred truths handed on and held intact by the Church. they're sacred custom, it really is on par with sacred scripture. Mary's assumption replaced into believed by the early Christians, and that truth replaced into infallibly defined centuries later. besides the undeniable fact that the idea has continually been a sacred one.

Answer 4

The Christian Church (the original one) defined infallibly that Mary, the mother of God, was assumed (taken up) into heaven. body and soul. Much as Jesus Himself did, but Jesus did so by His own power, which is why we say He "ascended". Mary was taken up by God. She had no power to do so herself, which is why we say she was "assumed". The Church makes no formal statement about whether Mary died before she was assumed. This has not been revealed.

To deny that Mary is the mother of God is to deny the divinity of her Son, which is to deny the central truth of Christianity.

Answer 5

Mary was assumed into heaven and we know this is true by the same authority that gave us 27 books of the New Testament. There is no verse that gives the list of books, and there is no explicit verse that says Mary was assumed. Therefore it is by the teaching authority of the Church that cannot err on matters of faith and morals that we know Mary was assumed.

You have 27 books in your NT because the Church said they belong there back in 397 AD.

Mary was assumed into heaven because the Church says it happened.

St. Paul could not write about the event because all of his writings were done BEFORE the assumption, so demanding it be in the bible is not realistic. But there are powerful indications in Rev. 11:19, and Rev. 12:1.

There are other writings that, though not inspired, are historically valuable for insights into the beliefs of the 1st century Church.

We know Mary is assumed into heaven because she is the Ark of the New Covenant.

Gen. 5:24, Heb. 11:5 - Enoch was bodily assumed into heaven without dying. Would God do any less for Mary the Ark of the New Covenant?

2 Kings 2:11-12; 1 Mac 2:58 - Elijah was assumed into heaven in fiery chariot. Jesus would not do any less for His Blessed Mother.

Psalm 132:8 - Arise, O Lord, and go to thy resting place, thou and the Ark (Mary) of thy might. Both Jesus and Mary were taken up to their eternal resting place in heaven.

2 Cor. 12:2 - Paul speaks of a man in Christ who was caught up to the third heaven. Mary was also brought up into heaven by God.

Matt. 27:52-53 - when Jesus died and rose, the bodies of the saints were raised. Nothing in Scripture precludes Mary's assumption into heaven.

1 Thess. 4:17 - we shall be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we shall always be with the Lord.

Rev. 12:1 - we see Mary, the "woman," clothed with the sun. While in Rev. 6:9 we only see the souls of the martyrs in heaven, in Rev. 12:1 we see Mary, both body and soul.

2 Thess. 2:15 - Paul instructs us to hold fast to oral (not just written) tradition. Apostolic tradition says Mary was assumed into heaven. While claiming the bones of the saints was a common practice during these times (and would have been especially important to obtain Mary's bones as she was the Mother of God), Mary's bones were never claimed. This is because they were not available. Mary was taken up body and soul into heaven.

Luke 1:43 - Elizabeth's use of "Mother of my Lord" (in Hebrew, Elizabeth used "Adonai" which means Lord God) is the equivalent of "Holy Mary, Mother of God" which Catholics pray in the Rosary. The formula is simple: Jesus is a divine person, and this person is God. Mary is Jesus' Mother, so Mary is the mother of God (Mary is not just the Mother of Jesus' human nature - mothers are mothers of persons, not natures).

The doctrine of Mary, the mother of God was not an issue during Vatican I which took place in 1870. "Mother of God" came up defending the Trinity from the heretic Nestorius in the 4rth century who claimed Jesus had two natures, much like what many Protestants believe today. When one sets aside their prejudice and examines Catholic teaching from reliable sources, you discover that all doctrines about Mary give glory to God, and Mary gets her due respect (not glory and worship)

Answer 6

I cound not find anything on it. But I could tell you that body and soul went straight to heaven and she was without sin and being the mother of Jesus she can be rightfully called the mother of God, the mother or Queen of the church.

Answer 7

God does not have a mother. Jesus did.
