I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church, and do not recall anyone
ever referring to the "bod" of Mary. For all we know, it was even a
bodacious bod, but I really don't think it's appropriate...

I'm curious about this wink. Are you not fully on-board with the
doctrine of the assumption? It's not terribly important to me either
way, though I am inclined to think that it is a Churchly creation
intended to exalt Mary, rather than a historical fact.
