The Assumption is a doctrine defined by Pope Pius XII in 1954, stating that Mary, conceived without sin, and ever-virgin, remained free of sin throughout her earthly life, and as such, was not subject to the death and decay that are the wages of sin. Instead, our Catholic belief since the first century is that she  was taken body and soul into Heaven.
