Assumption of Mary

It was not until 1950 that it was officially pronounced a dogma by Pope Pius XII in his papal bull Munificentissimus Deus. The Pope defined the dogma in these words: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.

While Pope Pius XII deliberately left open the question of whether Mary died before her Assumption, the more common teaching of the early Fathers is that she did.
