No, that's not what I claimed
No Catholic doctrine (properly understood) contradicts scripture (properly interpreted).
I'm sure there are 101 topics you might want to bring up under this title. But I don't have time to follow them.
At the moment I'm following the Immaculate Conception argument and (seperately) water baptism.
P.S. Catholic doctrine does not state that Mary did not die but I'm not following that if you disagree.

Despite your protestations to the contrary 
I quoted you ver batim.
Scripture also states:
people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.
Catholic dogma/doctrine states Mary did not die. This is not found in Scripture.

The majority of Bibles you quote are Protestant.
The Greek kecharitomene is the perfect passive participle of the Greek charitoo. It means endowed with grace. The Greek perfect tense denotes something which took place in the past and continues in the present.
"It is permissible, on Greek grammatical and linguistic grounds, to paraphrase kecharitomene as completely, perfectly, enduringly endowed with grace." (Blass and DeBrunner, Greek Grammar of the New Testament).
Saint Jerome, who was trilingual in Latin, Geek and Hebrew translated it as gratiae plena (full of grace) in the Vulgate (beginning of 5th century.
“chaire kecharitomene”
“chaire” - Means "hail” or “rejoice”
"charis" – Means “grace”
"charitoo" – Greek verb ending in omicron omega (“oo”) means to put the person or thing into the state indicated by the root. The root being "charis" or “grace,” "charitoo" means “to put into a state of "grace.”
"ke" – Greek perfect tense prefix indicates a perfected, completed present state as a result of past action. Thus, a perfected, completed present state of "charis," or “grace,” as a result of past action.
"mene" – Greek passive participle suffix indicates action performed on subject by another. Thus, a perfected, completed present state of "charis," or “grace,” as a result of the past action of another. As the speaker is the angel Gabriel, the "other" is God.
Therefore, "chaire kecharitomene" means: “Hail, who has been perfectly and completely graced by God.” The common Catholic rendering, "full of grace," while good, may actually fall short! (my emboldening)
