I know of St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael, the only archangels actually named in scripture,and St. Gregory in a sermon named another four, Uriel, Phanuel, Zarachiel, and Simiel. But, St. Zachary (Pope Zachary) overturned them. Is it still taught the the other four archangels are Uriel, Phanuel, Zarachiel, and Simiel?
Also what about Sealtiel, Jegudiel, and Barachiel which the Eastern Orthodox blieve are archangels.
Thank you very much! God Bless!
 
“The practice of assigning names to the Holy Angels should be discouraged, except in the cases of Gabriel, Raphael and Michael whose names are contained in Holy Scripture.”

where can I find the 3 names in The Bible? thanks in advance
 
Among a few other places:

[BIBLEDRB]Luke 1:19[/BIBLEDRB]

[BIBLEDRB]Tobit 12:15[/BIBLEDRB]

[BIBLEDRB]Jude 1:9[/BIBLEDRB]
 
I think the Book of Enoch names the other Archangels. But because that book is not canonical, that is perhaps why the other archangels are not to be named.
 
Althought it is not held as scripture by the Catholic chruch the Other 4 anrchangels neames can be found in the book of Enoch.

The Church only recognises Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. It does not recognise the others.
 
I think there is one Eastern Church that recognizes the neme of Uriel, but I am not sure.

Not the Catholic Church.

Below is a reply from Father Serpa when someone asked why angels are saints and the poster included Uriel.

QUOTE

If the being is in heaven, then it is a saint. However, the Catholic Church does not consider Uriel an angel, let alone a saint, because Uriel is only found in some Old Testament apochryphal writings.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
