Your rendering of the passage in Luke is not accurate as you have added to the passage. Praying to Mary was not a part of the New Testament church nor is it attested to in the New Testament.

Reliance upon Mary for deliverance from Islam was a false practice if that is the reason for the Angelus. I am reading other historical accounts that do not agree with your posting on the origins of the Angelus.

I didn’t render any passage. I did not invent the Angelus. The history of the Angelus spans several centuries, but it was Pius V who codified the version we use today and it was that great Pope who encouraged the Catholics of Europe to pray it for the specific purpose of defeating Islam, which they did at a Lepanto and Vienna, with no help from the protestant brethren. None.

Go into any Catholic church and feel the presence of Jesus Christ in the tabernacle. Yes, we have “God in a box”, as one of my friends puts it who was once a Pentacostal but converted to Catholicism. It was God who decided to share Himself with us in this way. We did not invent the fact that Jesus is present under the form of bread and wine, He did, we are just being faithful, as is beautifully illustrated in John 6.
