You extrapolate the angel's greeting to a young girl into outlandish idolatry. Even your own church didn't believe in Mary's supposed assumption for over 18 centuries.

Pray for eyes to see there is only one who is "full of grace," "one mediator," "one redeemer," "one Christ."

You extrapolate...

Not at all.

...the angel's greeting to a young girl...

Do you mean the very messenger of God?

...into outlandish idolatry.

No idolatry. You continue to claim it, it continues to be false.

Even your own church...

God's own Church, founded by Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit.

...didn't believe in Mary's supposed assumption for over 18 centuries.

That teaching did not spring from nothingness in 1850. I will thank you, however, for giving the proper age of the Catholic Church, founded circa AD 32.

Scripture refutes this.

"...one mediator," "one redeemer," "one Christ."

Catholic teachings all.
