Another Angel question for some reason šŸ‘

I was wondering if the church has any teachings or opinions on the ā€œAngelā€ Metatron?
I would assume not because Itā€™s from Rabbinic Literature as well as the conflicting reports of his origin (Some say heā€™s an Arch-Angel, some say heā€™s not an Angel at all but is Enoch etcā€¦)
Any feedback would be appreciated šŸ˜ƒ
 
Hadnā€™t heard of Metatron before (except his robotic incarnation;) ).

Certainly the Enoch-come-angel theory is not in accord with Catholic teaching, and as a whole I do not believe that this figure is recognized in Catholicism.
 
Wikipedia always has some super good stuff šŸ‘

The Enoch thing struck as being too Christian for the Kabbalistsā€¦

It makes some sense as the wiki entry states that the mystic saw him sitting down in heaven which was supposedly only allowed for God to do, because it means that whoever was sitting down was being served, but we believe that we become joint-heirs with Christ and share in the life of the Trinity. Since Enoch was raised to heaven, like Elijah and Our Lady, maybe he already has the fulfillment of our own future destiny (new spiritual bodies, reigning over the world, judging angels, the beatific vision etcā€¦) ya know, since he doesnā€™t need to be resurrected and stuff šŸ˜‰

But thatā€™s all speculation (And a huge run-on sentence) but since the Church doesnā€™t teach anything about this ā€œbeingā€ Iā€™ll leave it alone.

Thanks for all the feed-back! šŸ˜ƒ
