Fact-Checking James White: Mary and the Protestant Reformers

I recently asked James White (@AominOrg) if he would publicly discuss some claims he made about Mary and the Protestant Reformers. Namely, that the bodily assumption and immaculate conception weren't a part of Reformation thought because they hadn't yet been dogmatized — as well as an overall demeanor that what the Reformers said about Mary is "irrelevant." Implying that his disposition toward the Blessed Mother is the Reformed one. After a short exchange, he showed no interest in pursuing a discussion. So this will suffice instead.
