The assumption of Mary wasn't revealed to the Pope by God. It was believed by those early Christians who believed Mary was the new ark of the covenant as seen in an apocryphal text of the 3 century.

John 19:26-27 states:
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple (John) took her into his home.
The minutes of the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D. indicate that four or six years after the death and resurrection of Jesus, John and the Virgin Mary came together to Ephesus, and for a short time stayed in the building, a section of which is now under Church of the Virgin Mary today.
Later John moved the Virgin Mary to a house he had prepared for her on Bulbul Dagi (Bulbul Hill). She lived there until the end of her earthly life.
St. John of Damascus (P. G., I, 96) later wrote:
St. Juvenal, Bishop of Jerusalem, at the Council of Chalcedon (451), 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.
With love in Christ.

You mean like a way of getting communion-wine stains out of cassocks or a fail-proof recipe for chocolate cake?
Why all the Catholic-bashing on this site? I'm not RC, but it seems weird. And a little disturbing.

What, exactly, about the Pope is supposed to be useful?
