How is the Assumption a matter of faith and morals?

Hello David. You said:

I don’t OBJECT to the doctrine of the Assumption (and I believe it is true) - I just don’t understand why it is relevant.

Part of the reason is so we have a better understanding of the Church.

Since the Blessed Virgin Mary is a living archetype of the Church, we can learn about the Church from learning about our Blessed Mother and vice versa.

Hope this helps.

God bless.

Would you say the Trinity is relevant?

Ah, now that is a really good question. I would emphatically answer “yes” but I cannot tell you the difference between Trinity and Assumption, as far as relevance is concerned.

Sometimes the most thought provoking answer is the shortest one.

Thanks!
