I've also heard of the Assumption of Mary, but I didn't realize that was the belief she was taken body and soul into heaven. I guess the pope just decided this in the 1950s.

They also believed she never sinned, ever. Impossible. Only God is this infallible.

Conflating vestal virgins and the virgin Mary is like conflating trees and bushes. Vestal virgins were not "virgins" beyond their vow of celibacy and devotion to the goddess Vesta, which was for like thirty years. Before or after that time of service sexual purity wasn't considered.

Mother Mary was created and chose by God to be the vessel which brought forth Jesus. What does "virgin" Mary mean? I don't know.

Not conflating. Prizing. It should be hard out there for a hoe, trying to steal my granary and my dough
