| | The Immaculate Conception - evidence prior to 10th century |
 | | He says there is "no mention" of the IC prior to the 10th Century, so all that is needed to totally discredit his claim is ONE statement in the positive that denies the claim. |
 | | Duchesne thinks (Origines du culte chr., 262) that before the seventh century no other feast was kept at Rome, and that consequently the feast of the Assumption, found in the sacramentaries of Gelasius and Gregory, is a spurious addition made in the eighth or seventh century. |
 | | He proves, furthermore, that the Mass of the Gregorian Sacramentary, such as we have it, is of Gallican origin (since the belief in the bodily assumption of Mary, under the influence of the apocryphal writings, is older in Gaul than in Rome), and that it supplanted the old Gelasian Mass. |
