Li se tou vre, sepandan, ki zansèt nou yo ki pa t 'gade yo korije kwayans nan Sipozisyon a; yo tou senpleman rete an silans sou zafè-a–yon pozisyon san parèy si li te yon ansèyman erezi, espesyalman bay yo prévalence li yo nan mitan fidèl yo. Li se fasil, tout bon, ki konsèp nan Sipozisyon Mary a, ki soutni sakre a nan kò imen an, te kapab soti nan mitan Gnostics a, bay sa yo denonse kò a, epi tout bagay fizik. Apokrif la, an reyalite, pa t 'souvan travay la nan eretik, men nan kretyen Otodòks k ap chèche enpoze detay sou evènman reyèl soti nan lavi yo nan Kris la ak Sen yo ki te otreman kache nan mistè. Pandan ke apocryphists dekore istwa a nan Sipozisyon a, yo pa t 'envante li. Lefèt ke nan Travèse egziste nòmalman tout kote nan mond lan kretyen, parèt nan plizyè lang, ki gen ladan ebre, Greek, Latin, Coptic, Syriac, Ethiopic, ak arab, pwouve te istwa a nan Sipozisyon Mary a gaye inivèsèl nan syèk yo byen bonè ak, Se poutèt sa, ki gen orijin apostolik.

It is also true, however, that the Fathers did not look to correct belief in the Assumption; they simply remained silent on the matter–an unprecedented stance if it was a heretical teaching, especially given its prevalence among the faithful. It is unlikely, indeed, that the concept of Mary’s Assumption, which upholds the sanctity of the human body, could have originated among the Gnostics, given that they denounced the body and all things physical. The Apocrypha, in fact, were often not the work of heretics, but of orthodox Christians seeking to impose details upon real events from the lives of Christ and the Saints that were otherwise shrouded in mystery. While apocryphists embellished the story of the Assumption, they did not invent it. The fact that the Transitus existed virtually everywhere in the Christian world, appearing in multiple languages, including Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Coptic, Syriac, Ethiopic, and Arabic, proves the story of Mary’s Assumption was spread universally in the early centuries and, therefore, of apostolic origin.
