One “artist” thinks angels look like a bloody splat on a marble floor, because that’s what she is making the angel look like in our parish’s new “Angel Patio”.

We can hope her guardian angel keeps her from slipping on the splat!

No, listen to promethius! You will believe what the Church tells you like an obedient slave, don’t you know your place? It isn’t for you to interpret what is or isn’t an angel. If you have learned anything from the Bible it should be that obedience is more important than initiative.

chuckle It’s cute when people think they can outsmart demons on their own or that demons somehow are incapable of hiding or quoting scripture in promoting their heresies…

Come back and talk to me when you’ve studied a bit on demonology, Phage.

Normally they don’t look like anything because they are spiritual, but once they take a seeable form, what do they look like?

Is there anything we have to believe as Catholics about this?

I ask because the Biblical descriptions of angels are different from our modern descriptions.

I’m certain I spoke with my Guardian Angel when I needed directions once when I was in real need. He took the form of a nicely dressed middle-aged man. His mannerisms and caring nature were such that when I returned to my car I turned to my companion and said, “Did I just encounter an angel?” I believe that I did, and the Lord gave me the knowledge so that I could appreciate my angel and know that he would be there to help whenever I was in real need.

Angels don’t have a ‘seeable’ form. St Thomas Aquinas calls them "subsisting natures not residing in matter at all."

That sounds like the exact description of a neutrino, for the science-mined.😃

And the metaphore is complete once we discover that neutrinos can travel faster than light. They’re very powerful angels indeed!

Let’s wait and see if this wonderful discovery is independently confirmed.

Angels do have a seeable form. it says in the bible they appeared in ‘shining garments’.

however they do not have wings. it says nothing about angels having wings in the bible.
second, it also says nothing about guardian angels.
ps: stop making up lies about angels… its just wrong
